martin Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 DJ starting to take shape acn i amke a small remark as you seem to be tight for space and why dont you fit a bracket on to the wall so you can put a small plank across it and it and then you can lay on it if you want to fit some thing at the back of the layout saves you streching across and also you can extend your farm out more towards you its just an idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deere john Posted August 30, 2007 Author Share Posted August 30, 2007 also started silage pit but ran out off fillers!going to paint fillers brown so looks like earth and black floor which will look like tarmac!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM190 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Now that silage pit will look well with the mud walls. good thinking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Ford Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 that pits going to look great, have you use just normal house hold filler. i use plaster paris strips to make my hill. got them off ebay under model trains etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmernick06 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 The pit will look very reliastic, smart thinking there batman Can't wait to see it finished. They have a similiar sort of pit if you want a pic or two? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Ford Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 you need some bonding stuff , used for sticking plaster board to walls called dry lining. i would say most diy stores would sell it sticks to any thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 cracking idea with the pit, a first on FTF I believe. Like Old Ford says, get some of the dry lining joint filler, it should work out a lot cheaper and it's ready mixed too if we are both thinking of the same stuff.

deere john Posted August 30, 2007 Author Share Posted August 30, 2007 here a photo's of my layout that i had at our local show in wick caithness at the start of the year,i used plaster for the yard,when it was wet,i ran a tractor over it then painted it brown so looked like mud with tractor tracks!looked very smart!

Like Old Ford says, get some of the dry lining joint filler, it should work out a lot cheaper and it's ready mixed too if we are both thinking of the same stuff. that stuff can get very runny if its not mixed right though, i found out when i did our front room wall : ooopppsss is all i will say,also it would take ages to go off in a thick coat like that would need to cover the mesh?? may be as easy to get that hospital "plaster of paris stuff" as i call it, has the webbing in it to which helps with strenght just soak it in warm water and lay over the mould goes of in mins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deere john Posted August 30, 2007 Author Share Posted August 30, 2007 yeah tractorman,it was'nt good kept running through the mess,so put paper underneath it but it kept running through it,so gave up before i smashed it up with temper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
