Deere-est Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Grand stuff Graham, an organic farm eh? Well at least it cuts down on machinery costs as well chap. Be nice whatever you decided to do with it. A bit of grain grown for feed is it? Here, lower your rope down and I'll send a thermos up :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham Posted April 24, 2007 Author Share Posted April 24, 2007 Done a few more bits for Frogshole Farm. Made an old oast house, the farm use to grow hops years ago and the roundel that was used for drying the hops has now got a circular grain bin in it. Done two covered cattle yards for the milking cows. A straw barn in between the cattle yards and the old stables that's now used for rearing calves.

graham Posted April 27, 2007 Author Share Posted April 27, 2007 hi marcus i used bendy ply which is just screwed to a framework of timber and i screwed it down to plywood for the base i think the earth effect just turned out ok more luck than jugement i used a black scatter to try and get an asphelt base like the hot roll you see in the road.as the name is the farm is set in a hole and the clamps are dug into the bank well that is the effect i am trying to get ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham Posted April 27, 2007 Author Share Posted April 27, 2007 i have done a bit of freeze branding today ;) i think scott might like these i put a small cut in the ayeshires necks and cut out a vee then turned the cows heads and glued in place they are looking differant ways i think makes them more lifelike also the AI man from genus turned up he is the britains dairy man but i swoped his head for a figure without a hat on sorry about the explicit picture but that is dairy farming \ \ : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
