Old Ford Posted May 13, 2007 Author Share Posted May 13, 2007 i thought they were fixed to a board!....i guess yours are stonger made from wood, the plastruct isnt great and needs to be fixed really even the pole barn will stand on its own, but to help keep it still i've drilled 6 hole down in to the base of the lay out. beause its quite light.

FB Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 with the two i've made so far i got B&Q or was it Homebase....anyway, to cut the MDF base to the size i wanted so its just proud of the sides and rear then if and when, i can just butt them upto a yard board.......honestly though your way is easier, you dont have to have odd shapes of MDF to cut for a yard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDFord Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 The pole barn is just like what you'd find on so many farms and you've done a smashing job to it OF. Is the cladding lolly sticks or similar? I really do fancy finding space somewhere to have a go at building a layout, one day maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 thanks guys :) :) the cladding is stiring sticks from macdonalds MDFord, my aprentice from work got them for me. And they are perfect, I only go there for an excuse to half inch some of those stirrers. We found them in a local coffee shop too but Traci got busted trying to nick them!!
