Mike R Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 I have made this from some old britains farm building spares and some mdf which i had laying round Just waiting for the paint to dry before i add it to my layout I have made a silage elevator to load feeding trough and it also has a conveyor belt to take along the length of the barn to feed cows I know its not as good as the rest of you experts but i think its pretty good for someone whos a novice what do you think / more pics when i place it on the layout.

farmernick06 Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Wow nice work, did you say you made it out of Britains farm buildings spares ? Can you give me some tips about how to make the buildings look a little more ..... farmy ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike R Posted September 3, 2006 Author Share Posted September 3, 2006 It dont cost much all I paid for was some paint Grey all this consist of is a couple of old britains farm buildings which were all spare parts you can usually buy bits on ebay the back and side walls are made out of wood , once the frame is up just add the roof sections its taken about 4 hours to make it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im jealous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Looks grand to me Kenty, big old set up you have got yourself there and by the sounds of it it was quite easy to do. Noce work, could do with some bigger pics to see it in all it's glory though mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmernick06 Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Yeah, Have you got anymore pictures of it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallclaas Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Kentman nicely laid out sheds you have there, any chance of a few internal pics? it's a good use of Britains sheds, it can be hard to make them look like the real thing.
