MDFord Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Some very fine pics there Richie, favourite for me is the straw coming out the combine, looks very realistic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richie Posted May 5, 2008 Author Share Posted May 5, 2008 Thanks for all the comments everybody, Well on how I did it was cut the front door mat and if the wife says anything say you had to cut some off because the dog chewed the corner so you just squared it up, Simple eh oh and if you haven't got a dog like me just buy some from the shop, It could be cheaper for you in the long run. The stubble that I tried to do is called wheat stubble and its for 1;87 Train layout. The straw is made by cutting the mat off and you are left with the rubber base if you know what I mean. To be honest the matting could do with been a bit taller and it would look a lot better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richie Posted May 18, 2008 Author Share Posted May 18, 2008 wow!!!!, those bales are great!!!!, how did you do them again? These big square bales are made from them blocks you get for making flower arranging, Took the measurement from the back of the baler and cut them to size Then painted it with number 93 Humbrol paint and cut bits off the mat I used for the corn and just stuck them on. Thanks for the other comments as well people. Sadly things has not turned out that well since I have been back in the UK and have decided to go back to Australia some time in the near future so both the 1:32 and the 1:87 farms are going to be dismantled. Iam not doing any more to the farms and from now on just try and buy as many 1:32 models as possible as there isnt many places over there to buy 1:32 scale. So I would like to say thank you to you's all for the encouragement and kind comments about my farms I really appreciated it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 What a shame for you mate, I hope good fortune welcomes you in Australia buddy . The farms survived the move last time so no doubt they will this time too. Have you an idea when you'll bid us farewell yet? Oh and what's on the shopping list? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richie Posted May 19, 2008 Author Share Posted May 19, 2008 Well the plan was October but we have just this morning learned that my Dad has lung cancer so we are going to put things on hold for a while, It has come as a shock, But there still is hope He is going down to London sometime this week for a scan. Not too sure what type of scan, Its the only one in the country they said. So its a waiting game now, Keep getting as many universal Hobbies as possible. 1:32 that is What a shame for you mate, I hope good fortune welcomes you in Australia buddy . The farms survived the move last time so no doubt they will this time too. Have you an idea when you'll bid us farewell yet? Oh and what's on the shopping list? :) Thanks for that Deere-est Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
