MJB1 Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 how do chap ! i did manage to get potato rows made for the toytrac display, although not great .it looked remakably good when in situ, i bought some small triangular wooden decrative strips from B & Q (other D I Y stores are available) cut to the length needed coated with pva glue & rolled in dried compost when dry lychen / moss dipped in pva glue & pressed in place along the top of the ridge place in the field of soil, mine was dried compost & add machinery just for ease of use for the display , i may well cut a board to field size & glue the soil & potato rows down permanent , so when i want something different in the field ,the potato board can just be lifted from the display Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 they did look nice i must say, tell you what marcus, why not sick those onto a sheet of 2mm hardboard or something so you can just remove the crop, and not the whole filed from the display??? you can just swap crops then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
