Your quite right. Looks a lot more detailed and realistic now you have painted it. Good work!

Thanks Nick! More than welcome to come and have a look. Look forward to catching up with you some time.

Thanks Mandy Thanks for that! Been enjoying this project as its the first thing thing that I've made with good detail.

No worries Count me in for the next batch!

You've got some great detail on your farm and I love the scenes you have created. Are you pleased with the straw bales as I was looking at getting some my self?

Thanks for that Ol!

Cheers Deere-est! I am absolutely rapt with how it has come out. Am looking forward to adding all the little details like the workshop and roller door now. Here's the shelves that you helped me to make. Still have to give it a coat of paint.

Sounds interesting, never seen one before so that would be cool if could get a picture!

Thanks Josh. Great idea- never even thought of making it a grain store before, what do you mean by a tunnel? Nothing is stuck down yet so it is still an option. I have got a Fujimi garage set made up so that will go in there as well. The shed is currently just for my carpet farm but will go in a layout when I eventually get time to make one

down pipe plastruct U channel for guttering made this raised section for the workshop by covering MDF wood with cement and spraying it with water. What do you think? Do think it looks a bit to dark or should I make another one with something like pollyfiller? Got to do the roller door, finish the workshop & add some decals, stickers etc. Look forward to hearing your feedback and advice. What do people think is the best thing to use for lights inside the shed? Happy to answer any questions you have.

Cut the card to size and glued it on the top an sides. Also I sanded the outside balsa wood frame to make it into a triangle shape.

Then I gave it a spray with silver paint. Using 6mm balsa I made a rectangular frame to sit on top of the shed walls and to make it removable. I then stuck the five A frames on and stuck small lengths of balsa in between. Pictures of the cladded roof to come next.

Hi everyone. As I expected, school has been taking over my whole life Luckily though, I managed to find some time over the holidays to get the removeable roof made. First I made a wooden frame to make my "A Shaped" roof beams. Worked great as all the beams came out the same width, height & angle. I have used Plastruct BFS-10 beams once again. The roof is 6cm high. I have made the wooden frame so that I can also use it to cut my pieces to the same size and on the right angle. Next I glued the 2 pieces together and left her to set.

Awesome work so far! Always hoped someone would make one of these one day

Love it! The ford is a good match with the spreader too.

That detail is quite amazing!

That is a fantastic machine you have made! Can't wait to see it painted up!

Wow, I like the look of that! How much would you sell them for?

The ones I have seen are white and only couple of yellow ones, but I was wondering if a yellow one would look more interesting in a farm diorama?

Excellent advice as always Mandy!

Yes those decals she did do look amazing

I rember looking at that site last year and thinking that they looked quite good. Like Light Land said, it sounds like your the easiest way to make decals

Have done a few myself. I found them quite easy to use but I soon learnt how they fold over and stick to themselves!

Yeah I think that sounds like a smart idea! Was just looking at the paper for the odd small job
