Leakeyvale Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Looks good, Thomas. Buildings are grea. Metcalfe kits are so realistic and easy to put together. Looking forward to seeing more pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massey Boys Mum Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Looking excellent so far - this will be the first 1/87th display I have seen on FTF (no numpties please, maybe I just haven't noticed them!). What are you going to call your farm Thomas? You could have a competition to decide or do a vote. Looking forward to seeing more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smallclaas Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Those 1/87 buildings have some fantastic detail in them, looking forward to seeing your farm develop Thomas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 unfortunately by the time thomas got the pics ready to load , it was bedtime & school the next day & the forum was slow to load the pics , so i'll post the rest so far the buildings are easy to do & very quick , two workers cottages took approx 50minsto assemble, i cut the profiles but thomas seemed ok with the card glue \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 the base boards are going to be 3ft x 2ft & can be added to accordingly looks like the farms going to be the middle board so another section will need to be added , needless to say , thomas' excitement is getting hard to control as you can see he cant wait & even with it all in loose fitting form it's all go :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 tried to get some colour into some foam for some hedging thats pretty much it so far , but he wanted to take a few close up shots to finish the day with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Wicked!! I love it. Thomas, you've got off to a great start with this and it's going to be really good to see it at Toytrac amongst all the 32nd stuff. A nice change and it is very interesting to see. . It always makes me wonder about starting Leverets over again in 87th. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Tree's look ace and that's a clever idea with the cereal box. Portman Farm is going to be a cracker I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
