sparrow legs Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 well heres part of a layout you have seen before (sparrow legs layout) and now its joined onto clarkdeisels layout then a bit added! working progress, keep having ideas and changing field sizes etc as the kit gets bigger both of us have a couple of days off work so doing abit to the layout (proper job!) name comes from our liking of making stuff from scrap (like andy "proper job" from scrapheap challange) coments welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparrow legs Posted January 21, 2008 Author Share Posted January 21, 2008 cheers tris, its hard trying to get 2 layouts to match but i think it will work out ok trying to make it so mine can still be taken to shows etc if needed, what you think to combine field? took ages to find a plain door mat to make the standing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I'll be totally honest, the standing stuff looks great, i'm not won over by the swathes of straw though; but it is nice to see a field big enough for this kit without looking all jammed up to the hedgerows.

sparrow legs Posted January 21, 2008 Author Share Posted January 21, 2008 space was the idea but still got a bit too much gear in the field i guess \ gates etc are yet to be painted anyone like the post fence with scaled barded wire?? looks great in the flesh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparrow legs Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 hi kris, yes its in a shed at thorngumbald, e.yorks i have a 25min drive to get to it there not chicken sheds, there pig fattening units on slats all of the back 3 sections with the back scenes were displayed at spalding, a few gates ways have been added to it to join into the new layouts working progress, still plenty to work at on it, done some more to it with clarkdeisel today thanks for all ya positive comments (changing to estates rather than ranch in the name as its growing) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
