I have to say the way you've used that grass is just brilliant - it looks so realistic. I've found a Company to make the floodlights - it's just the design next Edited April 4, 2012 by Lady Ferguson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 Great news Mandy , have already worked out the new route in and how to link the buildings needing power ina overhead method like the real farm was, as for the grass it's only your stuff most of the banks ect are off cuts joined together , do need to order some more so I can finish the main entrance side off that way I can get shots from different areas , different crops ect as at present I use the one side all the time, also need to order some more trees for that side as it's pretty bare sadly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 well i am back to it, after my toytrac purchases i have started the last side of ash tree's layout ,a new farm house and garage / small workshop area? or farm office ,havnt decided on that final bit yet, it will sit at the start of my roadway side coming into the farm ,so the field currently there will go arround this plot as such , this then allows me to finish the the ditches and verges ect, the house will have a brick bridge built into it over the ditch similar to what the real ash tree had, but wide enough for a driveway ,where as ours was just a foot bridge. will be clad roof wise with some of mandys juwlee roof tiles hopefully ,along with a load of detailing outside, but the house will just be external, nothing inside( aint into dolls houses :laugh: ) have altered the origonal floor area as it didnt work for a 2 story house, but otherwise its just a extension upwards of the base unit i bought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 plan is it will be located arround the first field entrance area on the left in this shot on my main tramaced road into the layout 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Palmer Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 so thats what it was sean,i must admit never heard of it,but a good start mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 if you look back through the topic mate, the two main older pig units are built from it, the lower half of the workshop, and the big black barn at the rear is half built from it to, i do also have a chemical store / sick pig unit part built, so with luck this will get finished to from the left overs, and a plus is i have 1 set unused, so will look into getting it copied with any luck so i can build some more bits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 It's great stuff, Paul. I built my workshop and my cattle byre with it as well as sides it for the walls for my big old granary building. It is.no longer available as the bloke who made it didn't have permission from Jigstones who make the moulds. You can buy the moulds still, direct from Jigstones, just not mass produce and sell the products from the moulds!! Must admit Sean, I'm looking forward to this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FB Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 bl@@dy hell Sean, that shot up, infact its just like i pictured i would have eventually got to back in 2005 when we all got that stuff, or was ot 2006?. You could see where i had altered it once and then started to make it wider.....i can now say i helped on Ash tree Farm!! ;D ....cant wait for the finished house!, i had visions of the house with small workshop with ol 35 in it, small shed with odd implments and small field adjacent to a larger farm!..............never happened!

Tractorman810 Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 the origonal floor paln wouldnt have worked mate, the roofs would not have lined up properlywhere the 2 roofs meet sadly, didnt realise till i got a far way, but the glue hadnt gone off properly so i had to take it apart and start again, think the side bit will have a open store, fire logs etc, bench at the back, odds and sods, and the other half will hopefull have a car or landy in it?? maybe a 135 under a cover, farms show model, with luck i can then put a office in the roof above the garage, with a dormer window ,still got some staircase somewhere from a old building, its always been on the plans, but never had the materials till now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catkom3 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 There's some Jigstone moulds available through the U K distributor,but not a lot Back 2 Bay 6 web site http://www.back2bay6.net/90270/info.php?p=9 Regards Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 got a whole pack here joe, and i have a big tin half full of mould material, so once done i will look into it properly, make a mould that suits what i need then ,a bulk system with luck. may tinker with it so its double sided for external walls, as the current blocks are only faced one side, as tris will know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I don't know why Jigstones don't just pull their finger out and sell the finished product to be honest. I don't want to faff about tying to use moulds and stuff. I just want to buy a product which I can crack on and use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 same view tris, but until they do i guess its our own efforts, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
