Ferret90 Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Hello, I thought I would post some picures of my farm diorama that I've been working on for the last year or so... Coppice Acre Farm is based on old farms dotted around England which haven't changed over the years. There are two main yards with tracks linking them. I have tried to recreate a real farm so there are piles of scrap lying around and dodgy old buildings that look like they are about to collapse. I will post more pictures of the rest of the farm later... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

844john Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 An amazing amount of detail wherever you look, and I think we all know a farm or two not dissimilar, but if our place looked like that, I think I'd have to move! The local scrap lads could spend weeks there, and as for the rats......... Actually, it's quite funny he's sat next to the old pest-control van Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mb86 Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I think everyone will have models they aren't happy with, I redid some of my first conversions I wasn't happy with and sold the first attempts on, sometimes wish I hadn't but the funds went towards paying for the next try.

Ferret90 Posted September 11, 2018 Author Share Posted September 11, 2018 Thanks for reply I also seem to have loads of half done conversions as I've lost interest and seen another good thing to convert mehehehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret90 Posted September 12, 2018 Author Share Posted September 12, 2018 The second yard is still fairly new, so the barn needs some work on it and painting, but mostly there with it I also need to get some decent daylight bulbs for the lamps as it is very yellow...

Ferret90 Posted September 30, 2018 Author Share Posted September 30, 2018 I've decided to start on a new building to replace some of the old barns in first yard... after looking at stabliofarmers cow shed on his 'not quite decided on a name yet farm' I decided I'd have a crack at making one myself. I love the way James has made it look like the plaster is coming off and you can see the bricks underneath and the weathing is stunning the first step was making the shed from cardboard and getting the dimensions right...then I mod rocked it...it is brilliant stuff as it gives good texture but it is quite heavythen i scraped off the plaster from the offcuts and watered it down to fill in the cracks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stabliofarmer Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Looking good, excited to see what you do weathering wise, just ordered some Vallejo pigments myself. Intersting use of the mod roc bandage, did it not warp the cardboard base walls at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks James, great give em a try well I was quite surprised that it didn't warp too much, a little here and there but not bad. If I had a bit more patience I would of done it from wood but I find it quite tricky... nearly finished weathering here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
