i made the blue trailer mickel and all the building and walls were ceiling tiles and some grey grout thanks oldford its something different my 1st attempt at weathering as well went a bit over the top thanks for all the comments guys

last few for now

some more pics of chestnut farm which i had at moria show

yes mandy they are soldiers but they are not straight from the box i mean each one has an arm or leg from a different one to make one man i used maybe 4 or 5 different ones the heads are hornet 1/35 ones they are very well detailed i found them on ebay

love the crush paul the rails all bent makes it look well used

thank you guys the stables and barn where made with the polysterine ceiling tiles same as the walls and silage pits the front of the barn was stiring sticks and the roof of the barn was a roll of the corragated card i got from mandy with the paper removed from the inside and then cut into pieces and stuck onto 6mm dowel i got from b&q the stable doors was 1mm balsa cut to suit and matchsticks where used for the window bars roof was black card cut into tile strips and a light coat of grey primmer to take the black shine off the card

last few is the grain being off loaded and stored away

the old barn and stables thanks to paul moynan for the bales and many for the feed and other bits

a few of the lane and the guys fixing the gates and fences

this is the start of my layout which i made for the moria show and hope to add new updates as often as i can

not sure if mandy sells it yes its for railways but it had no brand name on it ie like hornby it was just in a clear packet i got mine in belfast big bag would fill 2 trailers was £3.00 i first tried sand but it was not yellow enough if you have trouble getting it next time im in the shop i will get you some

thanks claaspower what i did was used pollystering and stepped 3 bits on top of each other then i used pva and kitchen roll and pasted it over to make it more contoured and added the ballast when the pva was still wet then poured some loose down the trailer to give the bit at the back of the trailer

not yet robert i only made that layout last week for the moria show and i took a few pics so will have to start a topic soon

i used brown ballast i got in a model shop it looks the right colour for grain
