THEBRITFARMER

Next up was everyone's favourite pedal demon

Ben was kind enough to drive down in the JD and bring the irrigator as our was broken.

First up Martin arrived from Bonnie Scotland with a Marston full of Tatties. I think he heard that breakfast would consist of Scots Porridge Oats, Tattie Scones, Square Sausage and Haggis

Paint brush at the ready :D :D Handy little shed there Tris and glad to see the farm "back in action"

Nice Mark, would look good in black & white also Who made the fordson super major

Some woman in the parking lot trying to park her Ford Explorer :D :D It's not that difficult :D

CUSTOMERS !!!! People calling for pricing and after I have given everything to them. They then proceed to tell me they received a flier in the mail. Why can't they just say at the beginning "Hi I am calling about the flier I received in the mail"..............friggin pilchards > > >

Doesn't Sean have one of these or jdc I think they were made it looks like this has been detailed

It's a shame Britains hasn't seen them

Good job you've made of them.

OOHHH A challenge :D Okay I'll give it a go

Thanks graham, yours turned out a treat as well

GREAT IDEA Graham, love it. I'll try that on my next batch. Thanks

Cheers G and it would be easy for them to do an all. Wonder if they'll give me a job :D :D

Hi mummy good to see you online again Nice collection you have there....which is your favourite ?

Forgot to mention that with the Jersey before I sealed them I used the drybrushing method for the lighter cream shade. This is achieved using a short course bristle brush, dipped in the paint then rubbed off onto scrap of paper, then rubbed onto the animal in the desired areas. Let the paint dry then if needed add another coat and gradually build up the layers until the right effect is achieved.

Well here is my secret :D I first paint with an acrylic white primer (the one I use I got from a craft store and is designed for painting on most surfaces) Then I just use regular acrylic paints, and when finished I seal them with good old regular white PVA (I have diluted it down with a titch of water to make it easier to paint on. Then I just use clear nail varnish for the hooves, eyes and muzzle I have tried this method on the NEW britains but the surface is very slick and it doesn't seem to work as well \

Any ideas for eartags Thanks for the comments FW

Thanks, I don't know where I would be without Google :D

Thanks Mandy I enjoy painting them I find it quite therapeutic. The Jersey's turned out quite well and also the Ayrshires .

Cheers Mark If I do say so myself I am very pleased with the way they turned out
