farmernick06 Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 I was just wondering can anyone give me any tips on how to make the Britains Farm Buildings set look a little more ..... farmy. Becuase at the moment my herd of fresians look a bit out of place under my gleaming buildings . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Cement dust sprinkled over the top Nick. Or any dust for that matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmernick06 Posted September 3, 2006 Author Share Posted September 3, 2006 Oh right, i saw that in a classic tractor magazine on a farm diorama but wasn't sure how to get my hands on any, do they sell it in packets in model shops with the stuff you normally get, like stones and bushes etc ??

Tractorman810 Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 they wont sell cement at a model shop i would have thought, but you can prob get some of a local builder for nowt if you ask, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 If you work on a farm mate you couls use Actellic dust!!!! Keep the kids and pets away from it all though!! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCC Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Dust from a power harrow is also supposed to be good or better still send the sheds to me and I'll take them with me when I go baling straw : :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmernick06 Posted September 3, 2006 Author Share Posted September 3, 2006 Nah, i'll just buy a pair of goggles and walk behind a lexion 600 i think that should do the trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEBRITFARMER Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Welcome Farmernick, Over here in North AMerica there is a product call dullcote, you just spray it on and it gets rid of the shine, maybe worth a try if they have it in the UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmernick06 Posted September 4, 2006 Author Share Posted September 4, 2006 That does sound good, and idealy what im looking for, But im not quite sure how i would get my hands on some, i'll think i'll just stick to the cement dust method Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 before now i've wiped a damp cloth over the sheds , then emptied the hoover close by , the dust sticks , then when the sheds are dry , use a paint brush to lightly brush off the exess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmernick06 Posted September 4, 2006 Author Share Posted September 4, 2006 oh right, that sounds like a good idea as well, i might give that one a go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerstarâ„¢ Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 If you know of any real machinery, use the dust that gathers on a power harrow, fine stuff, looks good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmernick06 Posted September 12, 2006 Author Share Posted September 12, 2006 Well, I've got the dust and have sprinkled ( tipped ) it on and brushed it about a bit i took the picture but it's not coming up so ...
