Paul Palmer Posted November 1, 2010 Author Share Posted November 1, 2010 The one you're using there certainly looks more Devon-like than the other Peco scene backgrounds I've seen. I didn't know they had a link to south Devon. i certainly didnt know until i bought them!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted November 1, 2010 Author Share Posted November 1, 2010 in the baling scene jez,well its mdf dust,very fine,i will be adding specks of green scatter into the scene to make it more realistic,i seal it with very waterey pva,so it stays were it should stay,but yes thats the final effect,just backgrounds to add,all my layout shows what i drive,i had to to take a big decision to do this,i have had several models,big stuff usually,the layout did start as a velcourt layout,but i only done one harvest with them,these guys i have worked for nearly 3 years know,the other scenes will be a maize scene,a drilling scene and a muckspreading scene,i also have twp dioramas that are free licence,although we have 2 bateman r16 sprayers ,i have used the uh sprayer,the other free licence scene will be a cow feeding scene with a recently bought new holland t 6020 and loads of stuff from mandy,a scene i see almost everyday in the autumn/winter where i live forgot to say included in the cattle feeding scene will be a hedgecutting scene,using a converted britains spearhead hedgecutter,which will become a mcconnell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jez Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Well mate, I trid the pva and water trick on some CEMENT powder and it did not work. I used some pieces of carpet for stubble. They were at the toytrac display. Here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were at the toytrac display. Here: perhaps somebody on here can say why that didnt work jez,i dont know why it didnt,however when i used cement for my tracks around my fields i stuck it down with pva,and it didnt need anything to hold it after that,the mdf dust straw windrows i just placed,then i sprayed the pva/watery mixture to hold it there,does that make sense? i just read that back and it doesnt sound very clear jez!!!!!!!!
