Today on the WGLR

Better get the roof on Mel and the mart open - sheep are fetching a good price at the moment. Looking really good!

try making your own with beercans and a crimper Mel
works a treat
Sorry Paul, didn't mean to ignore you - I'm just not sure that the finished sheet would bend into the roof shape against the corrugations so that it was "facing" in the right direction?
no probs Mel
see you Saturday

Oh yus, looking forward to it. :bigsmile:

A solution to making the barn style roof has been found BTW. News to follow early next week ;).
 
While we were away for a few days, I got a mate to cut some wood for me to make the skeleton for the roof. The solution I hit upon for covering it was to use the plastic sheeting that I used for the RAF base buildings on WGLR mk1. This was then painted with a couple of aerosols I happened to have in the garage. It's not actually corrugated as such, but I'm pretty happy with it - especially as it cost sod all :thumbup:.

I also under took some ............ errrrrr .............. weathering the market with various ............... errrrrrrrrr ........... unpleasantness :'(:'(:'(. Blobs of modelling clay on a bed of Uhu glue painted with various browns and a touch of gloss varnish.

Hey oop Mr Herriott, I reckon some of't beasts might ave a touch of scour???? :bigsmile:
 
Dung ho!:thumbup:
 
Brilliant Mel, love the detail of the evidence of 'liquid runoff', but have those cattle not been out in the fields yet this year? Scours are usually greener & rippled from the middle out when dropped from a height of 5 foot :rolf: :rolf: :rolf:

Did you let the liquid run naturally in the back ground there where it turns 90 degrees, or was it artistically done by eye?
did you use pva diluted or was it dark grey wash?

hee hee
one mans Gabions are another mans cattle rails!!!!

Unless they cough:rolf::rolf:
 
Eeeeee by heck, I've heard of rivett counters, but poo colourers????? :rolf::rolf::rolf::rolf::rolf:

Keith gave me the idea of making the ........ errrr ........ liquid content look as if it being diverted when he mentioned gulleys and drains Don. As I explained, I can't really do that with this surface, so I've tried to give the impression of some form of drainage system as best I can.

The .......... errrrrrrrr .............. wet waste :'( is enamel gloss varnish.

Sorry for the potty mouth :rolf::rolf::rolf::rolf:.
 
LO George.
