Lord Ferguson Posted January 20, 2006 Author Share Posted January 20, 2006 Thanks John... I think you're right - I won't have enough time to make enough of this for what I need :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Udimore Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Thanks Steve... but I'll leave that to the experts? ;) Why not Marky, you obviously have the skills & the patients for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted January 20, 2006 Author Share Posted January 20, 2006 Why not Marky, you obviously have the skills & the patients for it? I may well try my hand at something very simple sometime... I am wrestling with myself at the moment as I always do things at full speed ahead... I think it's the industry I'm in I really am trying to sit back, relax and enjoy this hobby and force myself not to try to do too much too soon. One half of me is in a busting hurry to see some results and the other half is saying take you time - work slowly and enjoy yourself. Sorry if I'm boring you but it helps me get things in perspective if I type it on here... Now doctor Udi can I get of the couch now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHolland2 Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 I know the feeling Marky. When it came to restoring the Fergie, I was all for going full steam ahead and powering my way through the work, but I took a step back and thought, now wait a minute, I want to do this properly and enjoy myself at the same time......and that was three years ago...... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I can also relate to that Marky , I may be working on one tractor and suddenly I think of an idea for something else and then I'm off onto another . In no time at all theres 3 tractors in bits !

Goodhead Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 i was also going to put barbed wire fences around my farm layout. the way i was going to it was, buy a sheet of the wire mesh you would use to make a bird feeder. Then using wire cutters, cut along as close to one thread of wire as pos. One done it should leave tiny little barbs of metal on the wire. Realys its the weld points. You dont see actual barbs like you would on a real fence. I dont think you would. Its a 1:32 scale layout. The rest of the mesh would be good stock fence. let me know what you think of this alternative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some excellent items under that listing. Wire, chains, load straps, padlocks. . .. bloody brilliant!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
