Anders Nolberger Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 I am very glad that Lego made the City Farm category but I was not very happy about how the cowshed looked. So I made my own in a more Swedish style. It is very loosely based of the farm where I grow up. Overview Silo at the back From another side Wagon with food for the cows Above the cows there is storage and place for hay The cows are fed There are some more picrures at Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/andersnolberg...57618745408851/ What do you think?

aawsum Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 Very cool, I like the inside, the plough, the silo's and all the other details. The red shed itself ... well ... I am not sure, it's ... maybe too much 4 walls and a roof. But at least that is functional But in total, it is really great oh, maybe one thing more, a normal cow shed from the inside is a bit more dirty then this neat grey floor you have now Quote
BlueBard Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 Sweet farm! Exterior details are really nice and I specially like your MODs for the official Farm vehicles Quote
Milan Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 This is typically farm in my countryside, just main building is white! These silos are very nice. Also the mechanization is great. Very well done! Quote
Anders Nolberger Posted October 1, 2009 Author Posted October 1, 2009 Thank you! ...The red shed itself ... well ... I am not sure, it's ... maybe too much 4 walls and a roof. But at least that is functional ... oh, maybe one thing more, a normal cow shed from the inside is a bit more dirty then this neat grey floor you have now Do you have any suggestions on how to make it more interesting? On the other side it is intended for the tractor to park so space is needed. I don't want to add cow sh.. to my Lego! Quote

You could add some brown and tan tiles (or even some plates abive the tiles) for some dirtiness and maybe some yellow ones for the straw This is typically farm in my countryside, just main building is white! I think it's a typical european farm. Its design can be found all around the continent I think But it's true the red is an extremeley recurrent colour in swedish houses and countryside buildings Quote
Anders Nolberger Posted October 3, 2009 Author Posted October 3, 2009 That is a great M.O.C Thank you! You could add some brown and tan tiles (or even some plates abive the tiles) for some dirtiness and maybe some yellow ones for the straw I am experimenting with spreading some loose plates on the floor and it looks good, it gives a little bit of a dirty look. I will also rebuild some small parts and i am thinking of adding a workbench for repairs in the barn. I have to order some parts to make it look as I want but i will get back when I have done the updates. Thank you for your suggestions! Quote
Klaus-Dieter Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 That's a great MOC, Anders Nolberger! I really it! It looks very realistic! The cowshed looks indeed much better than the official one in the farm set! The plough you added to the red tractor looks great! Do you have some detailed pics of it? Very well done!

MetroiD Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 Wow. That is what I would have tried to build if I had bought the City Farm set - since LEGO actually made quite a mess out of it... For what it's worth, I love this one's looks to bits. The big & sturdy building and the tall silos look perfect and those details are really well thought out. Congratulations Quote
