MJB1 Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Thanks everyone for the kind comments, it is a bit of a shame Tris, I would be able to put names to faces meeting you all at the shows. You are right there MJB1 Ive been looking to change some of the siku ones for the more detailed Wiking and Schuco and the price of some of them, Bit of a shock. Here is a few more photos for yous. the machinery wasn't the shocker it was the scenics ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richie Posted July 25, 2011 Author Share Posted July 25, 2011 the machinery wasn't the shocker it was the scenics ! Ha yes sorry, What can I say!!! Thats why I only use clag clue cause its easy to remove the scenics to reuse them. I looked at a digital print for the back ground and they wanted $50(33 pounds) so I did the sky myself and cut the old paper prints I had out and stuck them on and it hasn't turned out too bad. So I know where you are coming from MJB1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CCF Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Nice! Is it just an optical illusion or is that a sloped hill that the tractor with the hayrake is on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richie Posted October 3, 2011 Author Share Posted October 3, 2011 Nice! Is it just an optical illusion or is that a sloped hill that the tractor with the hayrake is on? Yep it is a sloped hill with the rake on, The hillside is made with metal mesh and bent into shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Amazing I love this, the shot looking through the farm entrance past the house on the left up through the yard just stunning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice idea, simple to do yet you'd never guess it. Had a look through the entire topic earlier and it looks like a great layout you have going so far. The little things like land contours that really add to the whole scene. Looking forward to what's next! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete132 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Fantastic little diorama, goes to show how much can be fitted into a small space compared to 1:32 Keep up the great work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Ferguson Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Just looking back through this wonderful topic and I have one criticism - why no trains? I noticed that you had a model railway in the background and one of my ambitions (although in Gauge 1, which is the railway equivalent of 1:32 scale) is to have a model railway running alongside a farm layout. I think a railway embankment running through a field being harvested would look fab - and (I would think) easier to do in 1/87 scale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swifty Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Hi there really like your farm how did YOu do your plow seen and also what do YOu use for silage and straw . Modified for Text Talk!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Stunning. I love that garden furniture set, that is a great touch. Turfan Farm is looking lovely :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richie Posted October 22, 2011 Author Share Posted October 22, 2011 Hi there really like your farm how did YOu do your plow seen and also what do YOu use for silage and straw . Hi swifty the plough scene is just dark red sand with a broken bit of comb to make the furrows, then I used wd40 to get the wet soil look, water dries out very quickly. The silage is just grass scatter and you can get it from any good model shop,ie hollylovestoys.com.The straw is just cut off a coir mat and cut up to a smaller size to go with the scale.

I noticed that you had a model railway in the background and one of my ambitions (although in Gauge 1, which is the railway equivalent of 1:32 scale) is to have a model railway running alongside a farm layout. I think a railway embankment running through a field being harvested would look fab - and (I would think) easier to do in 1/87 scale Thanks for everyone's response, Yes Lady Ferguson a railway is going to be in the layout, Iam just still in the planning stage of where goes where and what \ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richie Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 just little update on this layout, better late than never, well its no longer, My 8 year old Daughter had a go on a friends quad and the next thing a Raptor 90 needed a home ie my shed so the whole layout had to go So I thought might as well join her and my Raptor needed a home so the only place left to do some sort of Diorama was some shelves in the model room, will take some photos soon, Things we do for the family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Deere-est Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Oh noooooo!! What a shame to have to dismantle your lovely farm. Still, no doubt you have made a nice job of your shelf displays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke (DeWitt) Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Too bad you have to take it down, I really enjoy what I have seen so far. I am excited to see what you come up with next though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
