richie Posted January 25, 2007 Author Posted January 25, 2007 look good Richie, what have you used under your grass for lumps and bumps + is it cold up in the loft, it is in mine :'( It is bl--dy freezing old ford thats why building the farm is going slow. Quote
richie Posted January 25, 2007 Author Posted January 25, 2007 Sorry old ford, newspaper taped down and then plastercloth over the top Quote
smallclaas Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 It is bl--dy freezing old ford thats why building the farm is going slow. Putting farming on hold as well to cold in attic for me. shed building instead. Quote
Old Ford Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 thanks , that plaster cloth stuff is that all you need or do you need more plaster to. have seen it on ebay. but dont know how you use the stuff [ got some hills to do. Quote
richie Posted January 25, 2007 Author Posted January 25, 2007 Yeah thats all you need, You might have to put two layers on, depends on the surface if it's smooth you might get away with one. Cut a length about 6 to 12 inches dip it in water place on surface and just smooth over with your fingers. Its just the same stuff they use on your broken arms, legs etc. Its great stuff Its all I use. Quote
Old Ford Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 thanks for that Richie 8),will give it a go. :) Quote

richie Posted January 25, 2007 Author Posted January 25, 2007 Wow!!!! Old Ford how many hills are you doing. Iam heading to my local model shop to buy one thats all I hopefully need. I'am trying to decide what I should do for my jard, ie material, colour I would like to put something down instead of just painting the board?........... Quote

richie Posted January 28, 2007 Author Posted January 28, 2007 Just a few pics of the farm progress. Nearly finished the ditch and have put a road in as well and I used a straw for the pipes. I 'am also trying to make a risen hedgerow using bits of wood for the hedge. Not to sure how its going to work. Quote
THEBRITFARMER Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 Looking good richie.......enjoying seeing this one develop Quote
Old Ford Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 wow :o :o :o :o :o very nice :P wish i done something like that. what grass have you use richie looks very real. Quote
richie Posted January 28, 2007 Author Posted January 28, 2007 wow :o :o :o :o :o very nice :P wish i done something like that. what grass have you use richie looks very real. Just the normal grass mats from any model shops Old Ford, On the road I used that powder grass just springled some up each side of the road. Quote
Old Ford Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 what did you use to stick down the grass mats Quote
richie Posted January 28, 2007 Author Posted January 28, 2007 I forgot what you call it, I will get the name for you tomorrow night. Its just for paper and cardboard I use it because it dosnt stick it down to much so if you what to lift it some time down the track it comes up quite easy. Quote

richie Posted January 28, 2007 Author Posted January 28, 2007 If you look at the last pic thats what it looks like Old Ford, Red and white lable. Quote
Deere-est Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Looking very very good Richi, I see the move has given you the ideal chance to make a lot of changes to the layout and you are certainly making good chnages mate. Keep it up, it is nice to see it changing and taking on new ideas. Quote
smallclaas Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Looking good Richie, tricky doing those ditches you've put some great detail into that track way Quote
richie Posted January 29, 2007 Author Posted January 29, 2007 what did you use to stick down the grass mats Here is the name of the clue I use, Bostic Clag Paste. I brought it back from Oz but you will most likely be able to get it here. Quote
richie Posted February 4, 2007 Author Posted February 4, 2007 Got a little bit more done, Got some hedges done and the road layed and a fence up. Starting to take shape. Quote
