smallclaas Posted November 20, 2006 Author Share Posted November 20, 2006 looking great garrett i know you are but it needs to be shown to the masses fella got to get it out off that loft and on show mate i would think the feedback you get from it will be amazing what a great layout :) :) Thanks Graham, I started this project in 2001 long before I discovered the Forum, so it's great to let people see what's going on. I hope to haul some bits of it to shows next Summer and hopefully if there is a display section next year in Toytrac I'll get the ferry over and haul a few bits and pieces with me. Thanks again Graham, great to get feedback from a Master builder like yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to try and bleach some of it to make stuble from it. It cost a fortune but I did a swap with the guy in the centre for some video footage of his landscape garden biz, well worth it or just madness her in doors dosen't know yet She already thinks I'm mad.

They can be stood on their side against the wall and transported on their sides on the backseat of the car. I'm shortly going to build a cupboard for them in the garage that they can slide into like trays of bread slide into the back of a bread van. I'll post pics when it's done.
