Paul Palmer Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share Posted October 14, 2012 almost finished now,row of grass made now,i just used a rizla paper pack to form a wedge shape,glued in place to baler and base,let it go off then i put pva on the card shape wedge,and sprinkled on mandys flock,removed one crow from top of fence post,i think i had to many,just got to put a bit of rust on the bale sledge and add the horse and rider on the other side of the fence 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Looking very good, Paul. Like it a lot. I saw today at first hand what can be done with a small diorama by a chap who had two small plinth type affairs. One small observation though, you have the crop going over the top of the crop press, it should be underneath I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
