about 2 foot of snow here on the County Durham/ Cumbria border, although its drifting like hell and i've seen drifts of 5 or 6 foot today

Love it thats what needs to be done here!!!

lot of older farmers cant be bothered to stand up, we should all unite and sort out milk prices etc.

found this on YouTube, thought some of you guys might enjoy it

I've been to all the places in your photos on a school trip, it was very moving, and we also visited alot of battle fields across France and Belgium

Gold Massey 7624 limited edition

was -7 last night and just started snowing at about 4 o'clock this afternoon.....

i think they are still trading, i've got them added on Facebook and they update regularly

Looks very smart

Ah, no I mean a brick wall but I'm sure constructing a master out of cut stone as you have done so well here would be nigh on impossible. I should think for bricks the master would have to be sculptured from something? Then it begs the question whether sculpting would be easier than casting from it.

yes for bricks it would probably have to be sculptured from something

I hope it is food for thought. I appreciate the lengthy process, it's not something I would wish to undertake to be honest but hopefully if you get on well with this project . .. I may never have too!!! :)

Has brickwork crossed your train of thought?

the origional moulds were made from sections of wall made from real sand stone, cut to size, if thats what you mean?

these will be for sale when there done

Working on that pr

Now I can see these on the computer screen I have to say (and agree with others) these are truly excellent and if you can do this - don't stop. Sean and I use Scaloox blocks to make this kind of walling but as Scaloox they can no longer be bought. The moulds can be bought from Jigstones so you can make your own in batches. However, time and so forth the customer usually wants a finished product - such as what you have done.

If I can suggest one thing, the ends of each section need to be dovetailed (easiest way I could describe it) so that you can interlock them to make longer walls without the visible vertical line.

Scaloox as I used it:

I am working on that problem at present, unfortunatly is is not possible to create another master mould before Rehged as it takes weeks to build the layers of the mould. thanks, some intresting pictures there

The measurements for these are as follows:

the corner piece measures 18.4 cm's on the outerside of the base, the base is 2cm high and the hight is just under 5 cm.

the straight section is 27.3 cm's long, 2 cm wide and the hight is just under 5 cm.

These will be for sale on my stall at the 'Lakeland model farm and construction show' (Rheghed) in November

Heres some more photos of them with paint in, I've just been experimenting with a few different water based paints

this picture is of corner pieces with diffenernt paints for comparison, they have all been air brushed with a base coat of sand coloured paint, the one on the left has just been air brushed with the base coat, the middle piece has had a dark gray colour applied with a sponge in places to add effect, and the one on the right has also been sponged but with a lighter greyish brown colour

i would like to know which one you guys on here think is best

i'm not sure Deere-est, i shall find out tho!

i made the masters from stone, then someone i know build up the layers of the mould and made the casts, so i'm not to sure how the mould was made apart from lots of layers have to be applied over a period of time

a serious anwser to this question would be Harry Ferguson because he was an engineering genius!

........but if it was a night it would be a different anwser......maybe Lucy Pinder.........

they are still in plain white resin form, so a coat of paint is needed

And some more...

Wasn't really too sure as to where to put this thread but here goes....

i thought i would share with you all some pictures of some resin walls i've had made.

The first picture is the first one off the mould so has some of the plastiscene residue in.

going to have a go at painting them sometime

any opinions would be greatly appreciated

i was told it was around 10 or less, but i'm not sure, intresting topic tho

smart kit you have on your farm

i've already tird that but it not working, its just marking the hub caps

Does anyone know how they can be removed??

trailers are looking very smart

Does anybody know how much these weathered MF 3080's were selling for? (they are on page 5)
