smallclaas Posted June 7, 2007 Author Share Posted June 7, 2007 It's absolutely magical... did you work from photographs of the original farm or did you work from memory? Thanks Mandy, It's absolutely Madness :D I worked from a 1:2500 Ordanance Survey Map and photos, I also measured the buildings to get the scale. I was orginaly onlt going to make a table top display of the old yard but my Imagination got the better of me. I'll dig out some of the pics I worked from and show the comparison of what is there and what I've made. The field layout is also done to scale from the Ordanance Survey bit daft I know but sure life is short Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
