Cornish-model-farm Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 I had this Boythorpe Cropstore 3D printed last year, but decided to repaint the green part as I wasn't happy with the shade of green I used previously. I repainted the silo at the weekend using Humbrol Brunswick Green gloss and it looks much better IMHO. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack390 Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Looks great, you have plenty of silos 😂, really like the weathering on the top too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I've got another one - a RECO concrete stave. Will post a picture in due course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one is now used to store moist grain for cattle feed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are part of British farming history - even the RECO concrete stave ones which, let's face it, were pretty naff in hindsight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave "Titch" Sanders at Machinery Decals in Staffordshire did my Boythorpe decals. He's old school and a lovely bloke. I like your blower. I got one from Shapeways and badged it as an Auer, which is also orange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
