Guest Fendt pwr Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Your yard site looks very good john I like the fact that you don't have all the tractors in sheds but out and about ready to work ,do you have any fuel tanks for the tractors to fill up at?.

FB Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 very good use of the 'atcost' barns!!!!!. You should attempt one from plastruct like Smurf did (my parts still lie on the computer desk!) I use an old shell tanker as the fuel tank, i suppose you could try using a small box painted black with a small piece of 'wire' as the house. As for a jet wash, not sure really!!

The barns smurf made do look awesome but i don't think i'd have the patients. Might try the box idea for a diesel tank though john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FB Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 i've never tried it yet but i guess it can be done easily, i'm sure a small box can look like an old diesel tank with a bit of paint!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Fendt pwr Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Red ball cans are also good to make fuel tank's out of,just fill the ends up,paint it and stick it on a bit of painted ply wood with a bit of wire bent up the right way, looks good. If you drink a can of that stuff frist before you start the job you'll be done in about 5 minutes flat :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 Have you thought about using the tank off the old Alfa Lavall slurry tanker? makes good use of an old piece of kit if you have one knocking around. F-P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fenryk Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 Build the bund with Lego bricks. That is what, in effect, is done in real life. I had to build fuel bunds on helocopter sites in the Falklands and we used high density concrete blocks and a concrete floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
