Light Land Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Sweet models you have there Noel.I love your slurry tanker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noel Posted October 4, 2008 Author Share Posted October 4, 2008 Stage 6 - Expansion Well i added 2 more fields to the layout, a smaller paddock for livestock and a larger one for silage. Still not too happy with the cut look in the silage field, i sprayed it yellow but was far to bright, so covered with pva glue and sprinkled some sand on it to dull it down a bit. Done a bit more detailing as well, added some trees, grass verges etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noel Posted October 4, 2008 Author Share Posted October 4, 2008 The finished display ready and setup at the Comber show. I've a lot more ideas for the layout and will work on them as time permits for the next show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Noel how do you transport it and what kind of work is involved in it? Leverets ain't that big but with nothing being flatpackable it takes up a lot of room. Are your buildings the same? Do the filed boards all pull apart and the hedges etc remove from their vases to make stowage easier . .. etc etc. . . please elobarate! Cheers Noel, Tris.

MDFord Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 That layout looks fantastic Noel, it makes an excellent location for your models, I really like the granite wall at the entrance, nice feature. I'd be worried that a little kid would try and pick something up at the show and start playing, does that ever happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Tris Yes i've designed the layout so it can be transported to shows, its build on 2 x 4 ft Chipboard, kind of started out with making a small layout for the comber show and before i knew it, things kinda got out of hand All the stone walls are trees do come out for transportation, the hedges are made from hanging basket liner and are glued to softwood and then screwed to the base board, works out very well as you can stack them onto of eachother I can't take any credit for the Cow shed, implement shed and Silo, a fella close to me called Paul Savage made the sheds and silo, i VERY IMPRESSED with them and have a dutch barn and large enclosed implement shed on order, should have them for Feb 09. Anymore questions fire away Noel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noel Posted October 5, 2008 Author Share Posted October 5, 2008 very nice Noel, very nice, i like the spreader 'working' :) i can't take the credit for that, Martin the master trailer builder came up with that idea! thank you for your nice comments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be worried that a little kid would try and pick something up at the show and start playing, does that ever happen? I would strongly recommend taking a few prozac Some parents really don't seem to understand that they are not toys, there was 2 girls fighting over a drink and were very close to the layout, they did break a small part off the fence, it was easily fixed, but the parent was so apologetic and i never seen them move out of the hall so quickly. Brian the show organiser had chairs 2 ft from people displays with tape along the front to stop people, which is a great idea and for the most part worked well! It wouldn't stop me from doing another show, infact i had such a good time meeting new people i can't wait for the next one! Noel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
