smallclaas Posted April 10, 2008 Author Share Posted April 10, 2008 Nice work G!, Can you take some more overall big shots of the set up, curious how you move around?? Thanks Ben for the comments, moving around is very easy, the field layout is how you move around. The layout is mainly built off the floor on sheets of structural chip board. the areo board is just a new idea to save time and quids.There is still though a chip board passage right through the new section. It's just a matter of moving carefully as you go. I'm hoping to add the grass matting this weekend so I'll post a few pictures then it should be easier then to see the field layout.

smallclaas Posted April 15, 2008 Author Share Posted April 15, 2008 Just a quick few pics, here how the aeroboard looks all taped down and ready to be covered with grass matting. Have to say it's a handy way to make hills and hollows and it's also cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallclaas Posted April 15, 2008 Author Share Posted April 15, 2008 Here's a pic showing the underpass set in to the layout. I used expandable foam to hold it in place. I'll shape the foam to create the ramp up to the underpass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 liking that a lot garrett, might well add some to mine especially arround the edges of one or 2 of the bigger fields, give them some height/angles to work on, and to hide the wall behind to i think, is that expanding foam between the bridge sides and the aero board?

smallclaas Posted April 15, 2008 Author Share Posted April 15, 2008 Last pic looking across what's going to be the paddock area towards the underpass, now just to get the grass and hedges in Have to say the aeroboard works well and if anyone is thinking of building a few hills then this is an easy way to do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to sure Sean it says filler on the can, and it dos'nt seem to expand like the stuff I used before. It works anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smallclaas Posted April 16, 2008 Author Share Posted April 16, 2008 I'm planning on making a small slatted shed, so I've been mucking around of late trying to cast a few slats from plaster. As you can see the singles are no problem but the gangs well lets just say it was a waste of time. So I'm now casting singles in plaster and the gangs in Alumlite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
