Cheers bro  :) The tailgat was a bit fiddley as I used angle all round the sides, then glued laid the mesh on it and glued thin strips of plastic all round the back side of it.

Yeah I started them some time yesterday afternoon and then came home, three coats of red oxide and that was it. Now I have done one set the second should be easier.  :)

Me too Nick, luckily though for the old layout they'll be back loading so I just need the two  ;)

tris  a tip for you on the door instead of using angle use the U shape plastic right round then you just slot the mest into it and glue the bottom bit on

Top man, thanks for that  :) :) That'll make it a damn sight easier. Do you think the extensions ought to have bracing strips on, maybe just one in the mieddle on either side? Might do it anyway.

Thanks for all the compliments guys. It's nice to get away from the buildings for a while and excercise the mind a bit  :)

I recon it would look better Tris some up the front corner then just follow up the side where the braces are on the  grain body. Not that theres anything wrong with it right now mate

yes i saw them out in the field , but cant of taken much notice of them , they looked in place where they were ,

bit like a lot of farm equipment , that sort of thing is always there so you just dont see it  so your display was spot on mate
