Check out the topic;

"down at smurfs" in your model farms, there should be loads of info in that topic.

EMA or 4D models supplies are the prefered suppliers! ? :)

i'll try and get some part numbers for you from EMA. TM810 deals with 4D

Thanks Ben

did you not use the plastic  ???

[Lord Ferguson]

Thought I'd do a couple of test ones first before I went and invested in loads of plastic.  I'm hoping to make up a little production line and mail them in kit form if it all goes to plan.

Yep... It will be cost of plastic only (and P & P of course) - I reckon if I keep it simple (few parts I mean) I could make a kit that makes a reasonable barn.  Would appreciate anyones input/suggestions

[FB]

sounds good, definitely worth attempting. maybe cut a trial set up and see what its like to do?. Get one of your employees to do it?  ;)

[Lord Ferguson]

Would have to do the instructions in Lithuanian then Ben  ;D - I only know how to say you've got a nice arse and thats all (Grazusch oo spacaloocus by the way) (if you are ever in Lithuania and you want a smack round the chops that will come in handy)

[FB]

:D

i'll write that one down!!!

might be able to help with illustrations/instructions....in English!  . shouldn't take to long to draw it up! :)

[Tractorman810]

[FB]

yeah i got two bits with the tube and another bit you resent after it got lost with some clap board

[Tractorman810]

yeah thats right,thats the only roofing stuff i have used,and the only cladding too, so should be of some use

[FB]

[Tractorman810]

[SMurF]

Bugger    worth a try though

[Tractorman810]

always got to try,off to a place called "scrap store" tommorrow,some shop for schools that sells materials donated from local bussinesses ect,inc architecs,and we all know they use plasti strut for model,so hopefully some bargin hunting to be done

[Lord Ferguson]

Good luck TM810 - I ordered some sheeting from 4D models on the web the other night and they phoned yesterday to speak to my wife at work as I had used her connect card to pay - they asked her if she was happy with this - they trying to get me a DIVORCE or what

Got to wait a week as they are out of stock though sadly.... Gives me a week to apply paint to the struts and base I suppose.
