Deere-est Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Nice dioramas, buddy. You're pretty nifty at the scenes I must admit but you wrn't bad at the buildings either. Don't knock yourself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordantaylor Posted January 17, 2010 Author Share Posted January 17, 2010 i came across them by accident as i was looking in the model railway section as scenery materials and i thought i would try them. there wasnt a lot of pacs though and they dont go very far as they are not that big. you get 10 sheets in a pack and i used 3 sheets for just the side of that barn that was 15cm by 12cm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 cheers, i only need the lower sides done, so hopefully if i find them 1 or 2 packs will be stacks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jordantaylor Posted February 6, 2010 Author Share Posted February 6, 2010 hi guys just found a way of making lots of tyres for you silage clamps. i used a black hose pipe from B&Q. its 15m long and off 1.5m i have already got 600 tyres so i think im going to sell them at toytrac for £1.50 for 100. they are not perfect but look good on the clamp.

jordantaylor Posted February 6, 2010 Author Share Posted February 6, 2010 in this scene the farm is being cleared of trees near the road to reduce the chance of them falling into the road. the tree stumps are being dug up by the mini excavator and the david brown is transporting the logs and tree branches out of the area to get burned of sold as fire wood. hope you like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard de Florennes Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 here is the other cattle barn also great work, should not be disturbed by odd looking "wheels" though ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordantaylor Posted February 8, 2010 Author Share Posted February 8, 2010 i know the tyres arnt perfect but with nobody selling large quantities of tyres then i decided to make my own. thanks about the tree scene, i havent put the backing scenery in yet thats why there are boxes aroung the edge of the boards.
