new holland 4 ever Posted November 14, 2009 Author Share Posted November 14, 2009 No, it's sisal string that I cut to a certain length, glue it on with wood glue and then paint it. It takes quite a long time to do but I like the look of it once it's finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new holland 4 ever Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 This one really is starting to look dusty. After over a year of inactivity, due mainly to a lack of time I've finally been able to get back to this one. I am currently working on getting the old french "breton" 70's style farmyard up. It shall consist of two mud-walled buildings for the cattle, and a haybarn. I am going to try and pack as many details in as I can think of, and a fair bit of weathering should be involved . Here are a few snaps of the first building, where the calfs used to be kept; I haven't decided yet wether to cover it with corrugated iron or slates ? One of the A frames, with a future birds nest : The beginning of the floor : The start of the weathering process of one of the side doors : Awindow wich shall be barred up with an old (soon splintered) door and straw : And just because I liked the picture, one of the future tractors (it's weathering has also started) : I'll post some larger views as soon as I get a bit of sunshine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Ferguson Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Beautiful work. Love your use of sisal for grass, particularly. I have bought a few bags (amazing how many different colours you can get! ), but it took me 20 minutes to make one bale, so I've put it aside for the moment Perhaps I should just leave it to the experts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Great to see this Topic going again, you always have something nice to show and I was wondering where you had been, nice to see you back. The bales (as in your other topic) and the farm looks great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
