Deere-est Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Looks like it is going to be quite a building when it is done a stocked up. Look forward to that mate Choose the paint and the application carefully, you may remember my dilemma when colourig my dutch barn. The car contorts terribly and so I ended up removing what I had done to that point and refixing it with a very very thin model aircraft ply backing to stop the mishape.

Would look good, great uyard coming together there thanks farmernick, good idea for the clouds, been looking at the kind of backgrounds used on model railways but everything i find has hills in them and the fens are flat, only really used the blue paint to show up against the hedges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toyfarmer Posted September 16, 2007 Author Share Posted September 16, 2007 It's all moving along very very well. thanks mate, made a start on gravelling the farm road ,firstly glued down a layer of budgie seed then brushed over a thin layer of building sand to fill between the seed to try and give it a more used appearance once i've finished the sand on the road and first part of the yard i'll seal it down with watered down pva glue and then get some weeds in along the road and around the edges of the yard.
