I’m fairly sure to the untrained eye you’d think the photos are of real life I really look forward to making up a diorama, something I’ve never done. I need to move though as I don’t have enough spare rooms! I think I’d be divorced if I used the spare room! Give me a couple of years then I’ll be coming for advice!! Cheers, Alastair yes, I find it's a nice way to display models but it doesn't need to be massive. I don't have any spare rooms and mine is just on a shelf on the wall, 6ft by about 1.5ft. I've got another few shelves underneath with tractors on but it's all about maximising space. Also it's easy to get too and you don't have any areas you can't reach I do need so better lights though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret90 Posted April 15, 2019 Author Share Posted April 15, 2019 Just finished a belt driven saw bench.It was straightforward apart from the actual saw which I had several attempts at making with no luck, but I found a 22mm Dremel cutting disk which did the trick.I need to find a better belt though as the elastic band isn't long enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

844john Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 very nice Ted, the last two pictures could almost be real, looks like a working exhibit at a vintage show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stabliofarmer Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Fantastic Ted, as always the weathering is spot on! For the belt maybe an old bike inner tube cut into a strip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, no I'm using ply wood, I usually use cardboard but it tends to be abit weak. The problem is the windows but I found a dremel did the trick and its glued together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Its Never easy to do houses , the older ones your making ,like mine, were always so much smaller in doors and windows etc, floor levels etc , so it throws your eye out when you do it, always look to small compared to the window or door inFront of you ,puts doubt in your mind that you have it right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awdmac Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Your farm is a pleasure to look at, used to come across similar when I was on the rural post. Makes me think I'd better go and tidy the yard here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
