Farmersam Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Ok, finally got around to puttin up my collection. I know it is very small compared to all you other collectors but I still really enjoy it. I have images of buildings I have built, some of my dad's and my own collection in the cabinet and finally my own carpet farm layout. Hope you all enjoy looking at it. Please feel free to ask me any questions or request more pictures. Am 13 yrs old now. Was 9, 10, 11, and 12 yrs old when i built the scratch built models Enjoy!

Truly excellent, well done and such creativity at a young age!! Are you living in NZ then mate? Well done again Sam!! Haha! Love your "son of Graham" quote! Thanks for those compliments Jez, I'm quite chuffed at you saying that, especially coming from such a shed-building-expert! Yes I am living in NZ. Makes it a lot more fun talking to others who are model-making halfway across the world! Have got a few more sheds to post on here tomorrow that I built 2 years ago. They are rough as guts, but look pretty good considering he age I was when I built them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi6920 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 very nice work sam, maybe i should just give you my shed plans and let you build it.... some very nice work there mate, i can see you will be a builder in years to come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmersam Posted January 6, 2011 Author Share Posted January 6, 2011 very nice work sam, maybe i should just give you my shed plans and let you build it.... some very nice work there mate, i can see you will be a builder in years to come Thanks Nick I don't think I could get your shed looking as good as you will have it. Look forward to following your progress. Do you know if there is any courses or any one who would be keen to teach abot scratch building and customizations? Or is everyone self taught around here? Would love to get into scratch building implements in the future- but haven't learnt how to use plastics etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Ferguson Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Some really interesting builds there, Sam. Particularly like the Country Store - the level of detail is very impressive. What scale did you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What scale did you use? Hi thanks Mandy. I didn't really get scales when I started building it, but it ended up about 1/87 scale. Was a lot of fun making it!
