jordantaylor Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 i have booked a few tables for toytrac as i can get the time off work and so i had to come as i have for the past couple of years. i am doing a mix of things this year, i have a small farm display and a few scenes i am bringing down. there are a mix of my own custom built models and weathered models that i will be displaying in the scenes. the main thing i am aiming for this year is detail as instead of going big and busy display i can focus on the small farm and fit in all the detail as im focusing on a smaller area. i must admit myself its looking great so far with many things that you find on a typical small welsh sheep farm. i can also tell you it will be a winter scene and so a first of its kind at toytrac and as im sure many of you know i can create quite an impressive winter scene with many new and different ideas being thrown into it. pics will follow Quote
jordantaylor Posted August 19, 2011 Author Posted August 19, 2011 well here is the start of my toytrac display, the first shed is getting there but there is still a long way to go Quote
jordantaylor Posted August 19, 2011 Author Posted August 19, 2011 i have decided to add my own made wind breakers to the sheds after i have seen they are not something used much on model farms but they are something i have seen in use on many stock farms. Quote
jordantaylor Posted August 19, 2011 Author Posted August 19, 2011 last pictures for now, im awaiting materials to carry on and a few models i have modified the kuhn topper into a 2 row grimme potato topper i have a few things left to do to it but it sits on the front linkage of my jd 6930 very nicely Quote
Lady Ferguson Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 Super Jordan - the windbreak idea works really well Quote
jordantaylor Posted August 19, 2011 Author Posted August 19, 2011 Super Jordan - the windbreak idea works really well thanks, its a shame it doesnt look as good in the photos, i think the flash makes it look allot thinner than it is. Quote
jordantaylor Posted August 19, 2011 Author Posted August 19, 2011 cheers mate, still one of my favorite models that ive brought, it goes well in any scene Nice set up, I like the picture looking through the trees at the New Holland. Quote
MuirHillyBilly Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 Looks well that scene mate, hope it goes well at the show. I can't make the show a bit too far for me to travel Quote
Johny mf Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 I think it is a nice scene to see! I also think you get some nice reactions at the show! Enjoy Quote
jordantaylor Posted August 27, 2011 Author Posted August 27, 2011 its still a work in progress but this is how the farm is coming along Quote
jordantaylor Posted August 27, 2011 Author Posted August 27, 2011 yorkshire boarding started the future workshop when i get to it Quote
WillTEF20 Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 wwwoooowwww!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait to see it at toytrac what do you use for the snow Quote
jordantaylor Posted August 27, 2011 Author Posted August 27, 2011 the farm is only 1.5m x 75cm and so very small to other farms i have built, i like these farms as i can have a few of them, vary them as to what season to have them in and what to have going on on them Quote
jordantaylor Posted August 27, 2011 Author Posted August 27, 2011 wwwoooowwww!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait to see it at toytrac what do you use for the snow i just use any snow spray, i get it off ebay and usually use about 2 cans to a board depending how much stuff is on there Quote
Deere-est Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 Jordan this really is terrific mate. Even Traci just said "Awwwwww wow!!!" And if she likes it, it must be good because she rarely gives praise to anything model farm related!! :laugh: Quote
MJB1 Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 really nice going jordan , although maybe it's not a surprise anymore liking the snow scene :) Quote
Lady Ferguson Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Great stuff Jordan - I'm with you on the mini dios - means you can have as many different farm scenes as you like Quote
