I have an area on my layout approximately 3' x 1' 6" which I would like to use for farmland including a farmhouse, out-buildings, animals and maybe some machinery working in the fields. Now I know that fields are all different in size, but what would you recommend for the average sized field?
Thanks
Rob
the more little fields you have the better they will look!
hedges between the fields need lots of diff types of trees / bushes!!
you can make a good ploughed field with string covered with a fireash / glue/ paint mix

I would have thought a plough would be better :evil: :smiley-laughing: :smiley-laughing: :smiley-laughing:
ah no....
cos you fall into the trap...
an make a ploughed field.... an put a trattor an a plough on it...
then realise that half the field should be unploughed....

Some lovely pics of farmland there 'Fisherman' and the ploughed fields idea is great! :thumbsup:
Staying on the same theme, if anyone knows where I can purchase some modern day tractors, machinery etc I would be grateful.

well even the smallest field is going to have its shortest dimension of at least half a furlong- about 100m or 110 yards
thats 2 foot 2 in English old money converted into 1:148 isnt it?
and thats the shortest dimension
soooo maybe let artistic license roam free
I believe the dark coloured corrugated paper you get in choccy boxes is good for ploughed fields ;D ;)
