Deere-est Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 the stubble field is available in train modell shops; it is a 1:87 (HO) "corn field" modell carpet making up perfectly for 1:32 stubbles! I can anly recommend visiting any train modell shop in your vincity, as they offer some very interesting products which can be used as background and so on for our farm modells! Thanks for that, I will look out for some of this carpet. I have the Joal Grape Harvester, I bought it a couple of weeks ago - fantastic model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard de Florennes Posted August 2, 2007 Author Share Posted August 2, 2007 Wow, looks very nice too, this Joal Harvester - thanks for sharing. Here two more pics of what's going on on my farm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 What is the red bits, did you buy them in a set or seomthing or did you make them yourself? They look very authentic. Nice photo's again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard de Florennes Posted August 2, 2007 Author Share Posted August 2, 2007 What is the red bits, did you buy them in a set or seomthing or did you make them yourself? They look very authentic. Nice photo's again They are put from jelly "HARIBO" sweets available here in Germany. They are covered by this small red sugar-balls, I took as red currants (interim solution). However, 2 or 3 millimeters ducplicated 32 times (1/32 scale) makes up for almost 10 centimeters, which is more the size of small apples than red currants. Therfore, I will look for another solution soon, maybe one more time in one of those dedicated train modelling shops ... Anyway, thanks for the positive feedback!

Deere-est Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Looks like another fine diorama you are making. Are they all on display in your house or are you not allowed to? I would love to have these on shelves or in cabinets for everyone to see and ask questions about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to have these on shelves or in cabinets for everyone to see and ask questions about. They are all on display in one room only; my personal working room; I have commited myself on a strictly no-farm-toys policy for the rest of our flat; although playing with my little son always is a good excuse for carpet-farming everywhere. These dioramas however are only in my roon and therefore restricted to shelf-size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard de Florennes Posted August 17, 2007 Author Share Posted August 17, 2007 With my olf Unimog on sale on Ebay at the moment and a new (better) Unmog purchased via Ebay from the UK (near mint condition - see right side); I took the short period of having two examples at the same time for a united Unimog memorial diorama - what do you think?

Richard de Florennes Posted August 19, 2007 Author Share Posted August 19, 2007 Today I completed my "old style (70ty years) farming" shelf with a third diorama featuring straw harvest/baling - here some pics of the result - what do you think?

Deere-est Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 One of my favourtites so far, that's what I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard de Florennes Posted August 19, 2007 Author Share Posted August 19, 2007 Two more, featuring my newer MF 595 which has received "glass" windows. I am not satisfied with the look of my "straw" (especially compared to the colour of the background image) although the material really seems to flow into the baler's pick-up ...
