My 20 Best CTF Models

 Hello all :)

Over the last few weeks I have been sharing some of my best models in my collection. Today we have my 20 best CTF models. I don't actually distinguish between plastic and bendy CTF for the purposes of my records (although weirdly I do on my breed list spreadsheet) so today they will be all together. 

There is a real variety of brands here although there is a clear focus on my RubberNedz, which is probably not unsurprising! I do have a few others in here as well though including a few unexpected pieces.

This is a great testament to the idea that you do not need millions to get successful horses. This includes some models that have cost just a few pounds, including one that was a child hood toy and came with a magazine! Yes some are super expensive, but lots of these guys weren't.
