markduck Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 I have been posting some pics in the conversion section and thought it was about time i put some pics up of the farm i'm working on. The farm has a beef unit, arable land, and a contracting business, hence the title. The farm consists of a workshop, two machinery sheds, grain store two cattle yards, clamp, muck lagoon at the moment, no doubt it will expand in the future.
bremner_metallica Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 great start mate ! you got sum good sheds ther to make a great layout
markduck Posted February 13, 2008 Author Posted February 13, 2008 Cheers both of you, i plan to do some more to it this weekend. Just trying to find what is best to use as concrete.
markduck Posted March 13, 2008 Author Posted March 13, 2008 Progress report on the farm. I've started concreting the yard using polyfila, put in the track that goes through the fields, put stone spray in the two tractor sheds and the bale shed. I've got some pine strips on the way to do the boarding on the cow shed, still got to make a grain store and convert one of the other buildings into another cow shed, start on vegetation like hedges a trees, the fields to do, not that much to do really!! ;D Question for everyone what do you lot use for trees? I need to find some that range from 120-250mm (5-10inch) in height and of different types. All the ones i've found are way to small. Here are some pics of the progress.

Marmitemania Posted March 13, 2008 Posted March 13, 2008 That looks great. I always use britains trees on my layout, you can get them from ebay, but they can be quite expensive, although I think they look good. Keep up the goood work
jnrcatt Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 As above, e-bay seems to be the best source for britains trees which work very well nice work on the layout
farmernick06 Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 Got potential to be one of the better dioramas, keep us posted. You've got some lovely models in your collection
markduck Posted March 16, 2008 Author Posted March 16, 2008 An update, been working on one of the cattle sheds. Got the boarding done on either end and started making the side sections where the feed barries will be along with some more boarding. Sorry about the picture quality, having to use my phone's camera.
jcb4cxkid Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 nice boarding what size of wood did you use to stick the boarding on
markduck Posted March 16, 2008 Author Posted March 16, 2008 will696RZ it is 8x8mm pine strips, as shown in photo.
Deere-est Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 Very clean and tidy job you have done on that. Nice work.
