THEBRITFARMER Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Damn it TM you do some wicked projects. Drool drool drool (I can something similar in design for holding ewes & lambs. Are the blocks cast by you? or did you buy ready cast? If so probably would be expensive to post them over the pond. Would love to have a stab at making something like that....right up my street.

Tractorman810 Posted September 27, 2005 Author Share Posted September 27, 2005 was he, :o didn't think it was that good as it was my first attempt some of the walls ain't exactly straight(up right) but i suppose it adds to the character of it,not many old buildings on farms are perfect now.was going to try the long machinery shed when i get a chance,like the one he has on eBay.,oh well,see how well the granary goes when i build it,should be able to calculate how many bags i need for it now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted September 27, 2005 Author Share Posted September 27, 2005 no it's taking ages to do the internal walls,might have to look into a differnet option for those on no2,the farm had metal/wood areas so might use plastic card nexr time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEBRITFARMER Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Got this reply from Peter Hi Scott. Thanks for your email. Whilst the price of each standard Scaloox set is, I believe, good value for money considering what can be achieved with it, unfortunately it travels expensively. The cost of forwarding one set (?6.50) to Canada would be a staggering ?25.50 due to the weight. This is why I am only marketing it within the UK, where the cost of inland postage is just ?4.50, and acceptable. However, out of interest, postage on two sets would be ?33.50, and three sets ?37.25. Regards, Peter Looks like I'll have to give it a miss for now :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
