Valley Axe Man Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Start of my 1/16th scale forestry diorama, it's still very much work in progress but i've slowly begun to make a start and hope to keep updating progress as it happens Pics taken at a local rally, just to test the water to see what it looked like put together in its present form but hope to expand on it when time allows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philsterrainstudio Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 That looks a very nice scale to work with. Where did you get your figures from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were there ever County Super 4's which came out in green or is that just specific to VTS Cheers Bill, erm Green Super 4 was just an idea of an ex forestry commission tractor bought cheap to provide better traction in the woods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 That looks a very nice scale to work with. Where did you get your figures from? Figures are by G and M Originals, i've a couple that are standing and a couple that seated. I had looked at bruder figures, given time they might be useful 1/16th a bit of something different and a change from 1/32nd scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tractor Twitcher Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Amazing work Paul, looking forward to seeing how your forestry themed layout progresses, it contains some fantastic detail already. Hopefully i'll get to see it in the flesh one day too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers David i appreciate the comments , I hope that as it develops and grows Fellside Forest will remain a transportable display, so if all goes well it should attend a few shows up and down the country Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 best get a better hill to test that county out mind :laugh: :laugh: say 35 degrees ?? plenty of mud on it There's a couple of ideas that i'd like to attempt Sean so will see how it goes, it's trying to work out how to do what i'd like but keep it robust enough and easily transportable.

Tractorman810 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 how big will it be mate?? easiet way at a guess would be insulation board?? cut and shaped, should be nice and light then to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valley Axe Man Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 how big will it be mate?? easiet way at a guess would be insulation board?? cut and shaped, should be nice and light then to At the minute Sean its on three 3 foot by 2 foot boards that when put out make a 6 foot by 3 foot display, i'm hoping to increase this but the actual finished size is a bit unknown at the moment. Transporting a larger display when based on the 3 by 2 board system isn't too much of a problem, My old 1/32nd scale farm which was 18 foot by 5 foot transported well, but now working in 1/16th it'll take a few more boards to get a sense of the bigger scale of things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you're liking it Justin, I had looked at putting the loader on my 4000 although that could be another project I'll post more pics as work progresses.

Valley Axe Man Posted September 30, 2012 Author Share Posted September 30, 2012 Not much been happening down in the woods...... Work sort of came to a standstill but hoping to get back on with the project over winter. Plus i'm sure there be an odd order for a landy load of firewood now that winter is on its way :laugh: Should be a bit further on by the time the shows start again next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
