Thanks everyone. The details are going to start going on tonight. I'll post pictures as I get sections done but don't look for anything soon. It's going to be a long process. The grain bins alone will take seemingly forever.
Olsen - The machine shed was built by Vicky. It's 60/106 I believe. She did a fantastic job. I do have a roof for it but it needs some attention after a freak accident. I'm going to replace the Daryl barn with a scratch built shop. Same size, 60/80 but I will build it myself.
Reese - The stalk chopper was made by a local to me builder named Randy Glick. The rake is from Scratch Cast.
pittsburgh - The real farm is located just down the road from me in Central PA.
jcg10 - I've never seen a full sized chicken house on a display before either. The real chicken house is 500 feet long which scales out to 7 feet 9 inches. Since the board is only 8 feet long, I shortened up the model a bit. It's only 6 and a half feet long. Still, plenty long.

I got some of the bin details done. Here's one of my bins with some Tractor Fab parts.  Here's the progress on the full grain system. It's coming together nicely.  |

I've been making a little progress. I have some more trees done.   Now I'm working on the shop, and may end up replacing in favor for another building. All the tree's (except for the pine trees) were made by me. Jarrod Turner posted a great article on how to do this over on TTT. I think they turned out well. |

Really nice progress. Did you build the house, if not where did you get it?

Pachad did you use concrete sheet or did you use some type of plaster? How did you get the look on the concrete around the dump pit?
Thanks

bkfarmtoys - The front rims are stock for that tractor. The rubber is off a 7800.
deerhunter87 - that's actually thin plastic. i cut it to size and glue it down. It's smooth on the other side. and I paint the side you see. I have no idea where to get more as a buddy of mine had this stuff laying around.

It all looks really nice but my favorite part is the house. It looks almost like the house on the TV show "The Waltons"....lol
