Deere-est Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 I'm getting a real soft spot for this mate. Those buildings are brilliant, just brilliant!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnDeereMan Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Where do you buy them from? I looked on their website but couldn't find out about their farm buildings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bROADOAK Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 The buildings are looking really good Richie. Can I suggest you touch up the raw edges of the card with either water colour paint or a suitably coloured felt tip pen. It will make them look even better. A company called Bilteezi make a barn and a farm house similar to the Metcalfe range. Might be worth a look, they don?t have a website but I imagine you could get their stuff from the same place you get your Metcalf items.

bROADOAK Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Found another couple of farm kits in your scale they are B24 Greystones farmhouse and B26 Barn and hayloft. They are card kits and cost around ?5 each. They are made by Superquick, make up the same as the Metcalfe kits. Well worth a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The superquick kits are great little building I had the farmhouse & barn along with the church, platforms and station buildings. My dad made them up for me when I was about 10 and wired them all up with lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGU Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Spookily Mrs BGU has put some of these kits on the eBay watch list for MGU. How strong are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEBRITFARMER Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Spookily Mrs BGU has put some of these kits on the eBay watch list for MGU. How strong are they? The superquick ones Kev? They are only made of card so not super strong, definitely not designed for play I would have thought. ALthough for the price they could be classed as disposable and they are just constructed using whitelglue. They are only tiny too so wouldn't be much good for MGU farms or does he have a railway layout too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGU Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 No railway, but quite a few 1/87th tractors! Probably would last a while before they were totally destroyed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richie Posted November 20, 2007 Author Share Posted November 20, 2007 Here is an up date on the farm, Finished the first field, It's going to be the silage field. Just need the forager to get it up and running and the mowers. the other one is going to be the barley field. The brown paint is just an under coat were I've got plaster cloth. I'll keep you's up to date with the next stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
