I have been putting in 3-5 hrs a night pretty consistently in the last month getting my layout ready for the big display competition this weekend. Typically I build half a dozen items worth $1500-3000 for sale but decided to bring a layout this year and not have stuff for sale. I am kinda keeping it a secret but I don't think there are many scale farm collectors or displayers here so I'm not blowing my cover
😛
It's a 4x8 sheet of 2" pink foam carved to shape and painted black. Glued sifted dirt and applied the grass with not kidding a powdercoating gun.
Pretty much everything is scratch built from 3d print or styrene plastic. The scenery was a big help from a friend of mine. Replicates a mid 80's North Dakota barley harvest. I spent way too much time building a junky looking trailer house with flamingos in the yard.
So now that this is done I can get to my wagon engine swap finally
🙂 If I win I get a trophy and a bragging rights. Woop!
