your nissan huts look great, very realistic

excellant phitos,models and layout

don't put yourself down mate, your farm looks very good

thanks for the comments everybody

i'm in the trade mate so i got mine from work but you can get it from any good plumbing merchants

the bales are made from hairfelt pipe lagging, it comes in rolls about 100mm wide and about 5 metres long. i cut it into strips to match the width of the britains round bales then rolled it up till i got the right diameter and glued it together, here's a picture of a prototype which is a bit small but shows the natural colour then i sprayed them with cuprinol garden shades sage green wood stain and i used orange cotton for the bale twine. to be honest i'm not really happy with the colour of the bales and was a bit worried as since i made them a mate told me nobody uses bale twine anymore although i don't know if this is true [it's along time since i lived on the farm] but the wife had an operation three weeks ago and i've been that busy doing the household chores after work that i've had no time to experiment with different colours anyway enough of my rambling on, hope everybody can understand how i made them any questions please ask

silage 2008 at creek fen farm cutting 5 acres of grass giving about 50 bales that we sell to a nearby farmer

had a trip over to tns at littleport and picked up a new battery for the 595 which has been refusing to start after its winter hibernation also got a couple of rolls of film for the bale wrapper and two drums of hydrolic oil on the way back stopped in at collins brothers at chatteris and picked up the new kuhn disc mower here we have the 6180 and mower leaving the yard and working away in the field put the new battery on the 595 then hitched the lely tedder

the dented iron really adds to the realism of the shed, looks great

great transformation of the britains shed

great silage pictures, a nice mix of machinery
