Richard de Florennes Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Having received so much nice feedback for my own farming dioramas it's time for me to have a look again at other mate's works. These self-made farm buildings on the previous page look very nice and extremely realistic. Very nice work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FW Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Very nice Tris! Firstly, what do you use as concrete and how did you put the cracks in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted May 15, 2007 Author Share Posted May 15, 2007 Thanks to Richard and Will FW there.Complimenst greatly received. The concrete is Polyfilla levelled and tamped just as real concrete is. The cracks are simply scored in with an edge,not too sharp though.

Jez Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Oh my god tris, that looks fantastic mate. What have you done with all your stuff you bought, e.g. the post knocker, the feed barriers?? Excellent. I think I may have to try some poly filla. Another good reason for using it is it would also mean you didn't need to use the best wood for a base. Will try that on my layout! Well done again!

Deere-est Posted May 17, 2007 Author Share Posted May 17, 2007 The bits I bought are shelved at the moment Jez, the barriers are going along the front of a shed I bought last year from Farmermarshall after I have kncked some walls down and stuff. The knocker is on a shelf in my bedroom. The display is coming along but I have knowhere permenant to show it off with the machinery etc so at the moment it is being built as individual pieces which butt up together and the models are either on shelves or littering the spare room!! Thanks for the commments by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well impressed with the concrete effect, how thick did you make it and any idea how much area a pack would do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted May 31, 2007 Author Share Posted May 31, 2007 Yeah Jex I just buy the smallest box of Polyfilla from any DIY store and it goes a fair way. It will all get used up somewhen I expect. It's dead simple just follow prompt in the Hints and Tips section that Britfarmer started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted May 31, 2007 Author Share Posted May 31, 2007 Got bored so I got the workshop out and got all the little bits and pieces out fo there hidey hole and got it all set up again. Nothing is glued into position inside and putting all the bit in took about 30mins with a pair of tweezers. It will not be moved for some time now!!! :D Wish I could get a big area in the attic sorted to lay it all down properly. One day!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never thought joining FTF would see me building a farm up. The site has opened up so much for me in this hobby. Talking of tables, I am hoping (if I get my batty in gear) to have two more sheds built and get the lot on display at Toytrac but that is not even in the diary in pencil.
