modelfarmer2010 Posted October 23, 2013 Author Share Posted October 23, 2013 (edited) Nice round up of photos, Chris. I didn't see you there, with so many separate rooms it is easy to miss people at Toytrac. What did you make of the dioramas, then? Every one had something special about if.think this was for a different topic Edited January 29, 2014 by modelfarmer2010 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelfarmer2010 Posted October 25, 2013 Author Share Posted October 25, 2013 (edited) Farmer rang the Garda boys (cops) and told them he found some of his cattle without any help from them...The cops said they would be on straight away to the field so the farmer told them to bring on his cattle trailer when they coming...sure he pays enough tax to pay their wage so why not give them the job hauling them back to the farm http:// 2nd load of cattle back and the farmer is kinda happy so they all head in for a mug of tea and a few sandwiches http:// Thanks for all the Likes and like away if you havin a laugh from this....Ah go on and click like..thanks again Edited October 25, 2013 by modelfarmer2010 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks...now you are putting the new folks under pressure to do something but that shouldn't take them long seeing they had to leave (removed) from their last farm cause it burnt down...

MaximFarm Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 realistic, especially with the lagoon placed adjacent to the shed, which is really good for scraping it out. Good layout aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelfarmer2010 Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) Got all the brackets put on the roof timbers..i cut up some tape into squares and put a dot of silver paint on each one to give the look of a bolt from a distance... http:// http:// Might not be putting a roof on this building and the brackets stand out from a distance and look nice http:// Edited January 24, 2014 by modelfarmer2010 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelfarmer2010 Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 Great work love all the small detail , the way you have done the brackets is a very good idea. thanks..i was half thinking of making brackets outa angle plastruct so they would be like real brackets but i'm trying to stay away from plastruct and use mainly timber and copper for the whole build...

Stabliofarmer Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I don't think they would have looked as good and would have cost more, you're timber angles still stand well against any plastruct sheds about aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelfarmer2010 Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 Timbers on roof so back to the work on the inside..i wasn't going to put any wall down the middle of shed but changed my mind so the wall goes in and a row of single cublicles at each side of the wall and thats room for another 40 cows..the board i'm using looks high and would be a big step up for the cows but i will be putting down another board around the grey board done out in a design of slats..few photos http:// http:// http:// no sign of the new family yet..they might do something at the wkend 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
