Small Scale Vegetables to go in my Spud Boxes

[Lord Ferguson]

Made by my Mummy who obviously has nothing better to do  - They look fantastic... got loads of pics to post so bear with me... I'll let you know when I get to the last one - any questions fire away at the end

Anyway here goes - All together first to wet your appetite..

[Lord Ferguson]

This is my fave... Carrots... first in boxes

[Lord Ferguson]

And in sacks 

[Lord Ferguson]

Caulliflower... Yuck - never did like Cauliflower 

[Lord Ferguson]

Green Cabbage... as If I need to tell you that 

[Lord Ferguson]

Red Cabbage - Great colour Mummy - spot on 

[Lord Ferguson]

Parsnips... Mum wants to paint them but I like them just white - what do you reckon (I think she wants to paint brown on the tips) 

[Lord Ferguson]

Spuds... 

[Lord Ferguson]

White (Hard) Cabbage.. 

[Lord Ferguson]

Last one.... You've seen them already but feast your mince pies on a three box line up... 

[NewHolland2]

[Lord Ferguson]

Thanks Martin I'm chuffed with these.

Quote from Jakescot via PM - hop you don't mind me posting it here John..

"just seen yr veggie boxes , those are great and I have to say the model companies don`t  really take enough account of these little extra touches do they  ,  better now though with the siku front weights, loader attachments and britains dumpy`s and boxes .......... what did she use for the carrots cabbage  etc??? and a question......................do they get put into the full size boxes, not half depth ones??"

Mum has used that clay you bake in the oven... it comes in different colours... dad keeps moaning about how many times the oven keeps going on... And yeah I have made half-height fillers from wood for the boxes (you can just see it in the Carrot in sack pictures I think... Sacks were all sewn by hand as well

[Lord Ferguson]

I'm told its called Cladium chaps  - get rolling  :D

[Powerstarâ„¢]

:D

Looks the part anyway!

[MJB1]

pah! so busy congratulating you via pm that i missed time to post normally   :

i like the parsnips as they are unless you want the just dug look

really like all that marky  ,cladium is it ?  i thought it was fimo ?  if fimo will do i'll see if dawn can stock it in her new shop  & wait for the FTF members orders , 10 % off in the first week   ;)

[Lord Ferguson]

Sorry Marcus... I think you are correct it is fimo.. Never listen to your kids and thet sounded so convincing I went along with it... 

[smallclaas]

Marky F those veg look just out off this world! If I was you i'd start making and selling that stuff that your mum has made it looks extremely good.

[MJB1]

yeah make a few boxes full of different veg & put them on e-bay ,it would be interesting to see the response

[JC]

Oh my.......   :o :o

You could make a better living selling those than you do the real ones Mark.

I was thinking about how much a box full of Carrots or Spuds might fetch... trouble is you would never get your time back - I hate to think how long a box of carrots would take to make - they all have little crimps in them as well 

[MJB1]

think you'll find thats yer mums fingerprints  :D :D

[Tractorman810]

very nice mark,and you mum is as tallanted as you clearly,so will we see a spud box load avaiable for your stuff then? a sheet of plastic card with a few stuck on to finish them off??

[Lord Ferguson]

think you'll find thats yer mums fingerprints  :D :D

:D :D - never thought of that - I'll have to advise her not to do anymore bank jobs - or to get the dremel out on her fingers first

Thanks Sean.... As they are so small you have to have at least half a box full really or you can see the padding piece... I've simply cut a lump of pine (Balsa would have been better... but alas I have none) half the height of the box - Wondering if I should PVA them in place
