CJB Models: Colin J. Burkill's Individually Hand Cast Masterpieces (5 Viewers)

[Louis Badolato]

I'm looking forward to seeing some photos of Interwar's collection, particularly the officers and clerks that go with the office trucks.:smile2:

Does anyone have any photos of CJB Models in desert tan or RAF blue markings?

Hi Louis a few more CJB Model pics to add to the thread.
There is a separate thread already in the Fórum, it would be nice if both could merge, do you think that is possible?
Not sure how to do so and would be nice.....

Great photos Luiz!:smile2: Looking forward to Interwar and any other CJB Models enthusiasts posting some shots of their collections. I have seen one photo of a CJB Model in RAF markings, and another of several CJB Models in desert markings (in Colin J. Burkill's personal collection). I am hoping someone posts some shots of CJB Models in other than the dark green home front markings we have in our collections.:wink2:

I listed the ambulance depicted in this photograph as a "Burnett Ambulance", based on a description in an old Vectis auction. However, I saw another old auction listing this ambulance as a "1927 'D' type Morris military ambulance". Are there two similar ambulances built by separate manufacturers, or is one of the names incorrect?

Attached is the photo from the Vectis Auction listed as a "Burnett Ambulance." I am pretty sure the vehicles are identical.

I found a photo of a real Morris 10 cwt ambulance, to compare to Colin Burkill's remarkably accurate scale model:

Interwar, another CJB Models enthusiast, has located a 2005 CJB Models catalogue and price list, and has offered to scan it and post it on this thread when he gets back into his office on Monday . . . I know I will be watching this thread Monday!^&cool^&cool^&cool^&cool

Here are some shots of the Morris "Prairie Schooner" Battery Staff Car previously posted, I believe by Luiz (Artillery Crazy) elsewhere on the forum:

These are lovely models. Are they 1:43 as the HECOs are?

Al,

Heco Tinplate Models came in either 1:32 or 1:64 scale. CJB Models came in 1:32 scale, and the figures and vehicles work well with either Toy Army Workshop or Trophy WWI figures and vehicles.

Interwar was kind enough to send me an e-mail indicating he could not make it to the office this week, but would post the catalogue and price list when he gets back to his office.:smile2:

Finally, a shot of my early production Morris CDSW Artillery Tractor, 1938 and Morris 10CWT Ambulance from the auction (the two middle vehicles in the photo of four), and some shots of Luiz's (Artillery Crazy) Morris CDSW Artillery Tractor:

The four CJB Models from the Vectis auction arrived today. Attached are some photos of my early production Morris CDSW Artillery Tractor, 1938 and Morris 10CWT Ambulance, As you can see, the cover can be removed from the rear of the ambulance to reveal two removable stretchers.

Looking back over this thread, I noticed my poor efforts at photography, often dark and/or blurry, simply did not do these wonderful models justice. I have had another go at it with some of the vehicles I did the worst job on, and have hopefully done a bit better. Lets start with the Morris "D" Type Battery Staff Car:
