Tractorman810 Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 looking good mate,is that the new grain stroe building ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted March 13, 2006 Author Share Posted March 13, 2006 using some worktop edging profiles i've cut & glued to the inside of the shed a main runner, then cut the doors slightly wider than the doorway & glued some shorter profile the opposite way up to them, then just hang them on the main runner. it does swing away from the shed but i'll use another strip of MDF to put at the door edges to fill the gap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMurF Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 i think it is the approved levell to enable you to sell them as suitable for children and not as a model for over 14 years old i think there is a market for your type of building for the younger carpet farmer aswell as us old gits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tris... I quit if he's going to have JQ in his photo shoots :'( :'( :'( Seriously though Marcus..... Great work chap - how much would one retail for re JD: don't worry marky the masseys are safe but they're all up in the attic & this was next to me in the boys toy box so i took the easy option :) what would it retail for ? how much would you pay for one if it was clad in a wash-proof vynal ? it would be a basic spec shed ,maybe 2-3 designs or just the one design in 3 sizes. take a look at the brushwood sheds first, bearing in mind they're heavy duty & well detailed & then tell me what you'd expect to pay for someting like mine Nice one Marcus, It's great to see an idea become reality. thinking about it more & more doc & i don't really see anything else out there at a reasonably affordable price for kids ,i certainly can't afford a brushwood set-up for myself let alone the kids \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MODELFARMER Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 why don't you see what it would take to get ce approvement on your buildings Very hard for hand built things, machine cut parts and hand assembled is easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the re-coloured Atcost Barns...crap for putting a tractor or combine in! yours would sell well if marketed right. Maybe have a few versions?? ???

MJB1 Posted March 13, 2006 Author Share Posted March 13, 2006 the atcost shed were good in their time but like you say not really big enough for todays stuff. I still got two of them but a carefull hand is needed when handling them else they break & repairs are not easily done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 I think it would be worth investigating the possibility of building more of these Marcus. Like you say, there aren't many decent model barns around and if you can't build one yourself then the only option is to buy such as the brushwood models and as good as they may be I doubt there are many people around who can afford that sort of expense.

Tractorman810 Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 it just gets better and better,the options to the basic design are infinate really,and you can go for any size to,,it would be such a shame to not see them being made, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
