Ben
Knew you would be pleased with the 7480. Its a shame you wont be needing our excellent back up as she is so reliable. Can see a few Pughs finger prints on some of them tractors!!

Not a huge difference, just depends what your planning

Just had a look at mine and the Chassis's are different.

Crafty bugger, he never mentioned that

Sorry Chris, I should have sent you some telephone wire for the oxy-ace piping.
Dont worry about it Tris, ive got plenty of bits of wire for that job.

where did you get the cladding
The cladding is corrugated cardboard that comes in a huge roll, i bought it on e bay. its the sort of stuff used in packaging parcels. Do a search on the internet for Bluestar Packaging Supplies, this is the shop i got it from.

looks good mate
are you going to make any more buildings?? \
Thanks for all the comments people, my next project will be to make a Tractor dealer showroom and parts counter/stores. I will tag it along side the workshop i think, as long as i have got enough room.

Wow that's come on a long way. Looks nice mate. Any skylights going in the roof?
Thanks for all the comments. I am going to put some skylights in, going to paint the cladding green and spray the sliding door silver. I am also going to put a small door in next to the main door so we dont have to keep opening the big door and leting all the heat out.
I think i will look into getting some lights for this shed. Ive got the bug now and want to make another, will be sad when ive finished this one. :'(

lookes very well
what you use for the bricks
The bricks are from hobby craft. They are printed onto paper which is similar to wrapping paper. It comes in a roll.

Looks like it should be a nice shed
I've said it before and i'll say it again, It is so nice to see more and more people making model buildings thet actually look real. I can remember not so long ago when there were very few people having diaramas with buildings in that wern't the Horrid Atcost Britains jobs. Now it seems that there are loads of members having a bash.
Bravo to ye all

I have got the brushwood buildings but while these are great buildings, you cant beat building your own, you can make them look very realistic and can customize them to suit your layout.

Just started cladding it now, im going to do half way up in brick and the rest including the roof is going to be cladded. Going to make it so one half of the roof can be removed. Thats the plan anyway ! Will post more pictures as it progresses.
-
I think it will fit through the loft hatch just about. After all my hard work i think i will widen the hatch rather than take the shed to pieces. ???

Ziko, i notice in one of your pictures in the top left corner a real life piston, what are your plans with that ;D
-
Thanks guys for all your tips, if it all holds together i will post some pictures of it when its finished.

I want to construct a workshop , do you think wood glue is strong enough to hold all the sections together, i am using 5mm x 5mm square section pinewood. Has anyone got any tips on joining wood together. ???

wow lots of money spent , great farm though, i shall keep an eye on this topic mate , is the milking parlour 'extension' worth getting im not sure wether i should get 1 \
The parlour extension is good, its really big though hope you have room for expansion, the buildings are quite expensive but when you put them all together in a layout they look impressive.

can i ask how much
Probably between £400 and £500, hope the wife doesnt read this ! ;)
