B A Baracus Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 I thought id post this up as its my first "build". Ive seen some of the models on here so im sure there are plenty of suggestions for me (be gentle!!) I still havent worked out what to use for the corrugated roof, does card look ok when its finished?

B A Baracus Posted March 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 I was doing a bit of experimenting with some pollyfilla tonight, does this look ok for a dirt track? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 ACE! Get some highlights in there and I reckon you're about there.... have you thought about running over it with a foam sanding block to take the coarseness and uniformity off it a bit...? Might work \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B A Baracus Posted March 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Does the sanding block work? I used a roll of insulation tape and ran it over it but it stuck to the roll and made it very pointy in places Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 I would have thought so now it's gone off, bit more forgiving than sandpaper so it shouldn't damage it, just soften it up a bit... \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B A Baracus Posted March 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Bit more work to this I didnt want a level surface as im adding gravel so I got a box of pollyfilla out and started "plastering" I couldnt make up my mind to do the roof green or red so took a spin out in the car and most of the sheds round me have a red roof. So I started painting the steelwork green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ferguson Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Very nice indeed.... you've made one hell of a shed for your debut on FTF... - as Cerin said... its great to see some 1:16 building works I love the floor... very authentic indeed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 Nicely done indeed. Don't forget the garden dirt (careful if you have cats!! ) rubbed into the Polyfilla. This is going to make a nice diorama for these tractors. The gate looks a bit narrow . ... I take it the tractors do fit thfough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B A Baracus Posted March 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 Yeah its wide enough for a tractor but I have made it that it wont open anyhow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B A Baracus Posted June 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 I havent done a thing since my last post and ive a bit of spare time this week, whats the best thing to stick ballast (gravel) and grass with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted June 20, 2009 Report Share Posted June 20, 2009 I mix the ballast with PVA and water. Gets a bit messy but it gave a good effect, pressing it down with your fingers leaves it a little uneven too as if trafficed. Grass if its the scatter you need to either do the same with more water, or to get some depth, smear PVA around unevenly and then sprinkle the scatter on top. When set (in both cases) tip of excess and spray with water/pva mix through a Windowlene type bottle to seal it. Hope this is of some help to you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
