Lady Ferguson Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 any signs with a sheep on them ? They're personalised, hun - you can have whatever you want on them. All you need to do is tell me what sort of sheep and the farm name, and finally if you want a traditional or modern style of signwriting and I'll do the rest I will post more samples up to help with choice.

Lady Ferguson Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 Thanks, Chris. Now some advise is required. My resin caster has given me a selection of colours she can reproduce in our stacks of sacks. I'd be really grateful if you guys could take a look at them and let me know what any of them could be used for. Colouring resin successfully is quite an art, so you are a bit restricted (too much pigment makes the resin solution too thin), hence I took the approach 'see what colours I can have' and take it from there: ps the end one is dark brown not black.

Tractorman810 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 the blue ones would certainly pass as "ICI" fertalise bags mandy , used to see loads of them round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Ferguson Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 Someone asked me the other day what the maximum size for a layout is for the Toytrac Diorama Comp. Unfortunately, I deleted the text, so hopefully whoever it was is an FTF member. So, I confirm that the size limit is 4ft x 2ft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree that the blue could pass for fertiliser bags and the yellow looks like a good match for seaweed bags but not sure how common they would be around other parts of the country.

Lady Ferguson Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 Thank everyone for your help. Just checked with France and they only have white ones... so I'll keep researching. It does mean we can other things (like the oil drums) in different colours too now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Yellow ones for Postcrete or Blue Circle definitely, as said before. Many, those toolboxes are immense. Opening draws with tools is a real top notch addition to some very fine looking accessories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I wasn't sure when my sculptor suggested such a complicated design - the time involved with painting alone is immense. But, I am pleased with the result. We just need some tool plates designed for slot car enthusiasts now too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Ferguson Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 Just a brief update: The animal sets will be due out in the next fortnight and will consist of: Rabbits and Pups (6 figures) Pheasants (3 figures, including one taking flight) Foxes (3 figures) Crows (3 figures, including two that will happily sit on gate posts!) The Milk Cooling Tank will be available in about a fortnight also (one is on its way to me from the resin caster so I can check the finish before final production) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll look great on top of your telegraph poles for sure! I've held off sending any pictures because I think the animals will be best appreciated when they're painted (they plain grey masters just don't do them justice!) But, I'll start work on them as soon as they arrive next week. I'll have 50 sets of each to paint, so it should keep me out of mischief! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
