Will have to try it with the bigger bales. The only problem I found Jack is that I couldn’t get a good colour by dying the sisal (which might have been down to the particular type that I was using?). I ended up just chopping the sisal and baling it, then I gave each bale a light spray of yellow followed by an even lighter dusting of white. It seemed to give a good match to our real straw bales, plus it had the benefit of stiffening the sisal slightly so that it was less fluffy at the ends 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Simon, I’ve never yet seen a lighting board that’s tied on sitting level🤣 It is actually baker twine that I’ve used, but just a single thread of it👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack390 Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 That’s come out really nice, often see conversions of the bigger nc2500, but I don’t think I’ve seen one of these before. Good job👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
