Thanks joe 11 hours ago, mb86 said: It looks great Ted, think you've got the right amount of muck in there for a byre that's been mucked out but not washed out yet, mind if it's loose housing it wants some straw in before the cattle go in . Fergy and scraper look brilliant too. Cheers Martin, yes I've been using a bit of plumbers hemp for straw but it looks too fluffy like it hasn't got enough weight in it 4 hours ago, 844john said: I think that looks spot on Ted, the rusty colour of the metal work is excellent, the Fergie is too! Cheers John, I found a new technique for the rsj rusty colour, I mixed some Humbrol Matt red with pigments same with the fergie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can grab some Timothy grass that's gone to or past seed flatten the stem with your thumb & then you can split it with your thumb nail against forefinger (a swift action best). Chop to length (hours of fun!). Right colour from the off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chop to length (hours of fun!). Right colour from the off. That's a brilliant idea paddy, I'll go and get some when it has dried out and give it a go. It looks nice and course unlike the stuff I have been using! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 also had an idea about muck, working on the same idea as my straw, so paint has been sourced and items cut up, had the straw to do first, but i may do a muck mix later, if i get time, as i dont need as much , but i suspect it will work, better than my sheets i made for the pig stye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferret90 Posted October 12, 2019 Author Share Posted October 12, 2019 I'm having a bit of a rethink with the 2nd yard. I've got a different board and doing the tracks as the old one wasn't big enough. I'm trying to go for a slightly muddy yard and I'm going to have an overgrown part behind the cow shed with lots of junk ha ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 liking that a lot, how have you done the mud area? i used brown clay for my tracks , but it takes ages to dry, and cracks as well,so needs filling etc before its ready, bonus is it takes tyres marks etc nicely, but yours does look easier maybe ?

I used mod roc plaster bandage and newspaper for the height in some places Sean. It doesn't take long to dry but I would say the clay is better for tire marks. but then you have to paint it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
