discussion not stew again.

Some more done to the lean to, the back panels have been added and some batons to the top for the tiles. Next it was covered in grey primer and when dry burnt umber oils were brushed in to the grain. When this has dried for a few days I will dry brush with light greys and whites to try and represent old faded wood.


Next a board with some pegs to hang some tools up inside



A section of roof was made in the same way as the main building. I have left a big hole in it. I'm not sure if I should a, leave it open, b, cover in ald bit of tarp, or c, a piece of wriggly tin.



Finally started making some tools to hang on the pegs. A scythe which I may make again and a rake.



comments or suggestions as always welcomed.

It just keeps getting better and better Paul. Love the idea of tools and a hanging rail for them.

Roof could possibly be left open with a couple of gnarly old buckets underneath to catch the drips?

This is looking really good Scottie :thumb2:

I had a similar vision for a shed type building at some point in the future and bought a load of Historex spares last time I put an order in. Brooms, pitch forks, barrels, a donkey etc etc

Simon, Glad your liking it so far. I looked at a few sets of "Farm tools" but as these will only be seen in directly thought I would scratch them this time and raid the spares box. I look forward to seeing your take on the shed, I'm sure we will be in for a treat.

Hello all you die hards that are sticking with this. The wood work received a dry brushing of whit oils mixed with a touch off black and burnt umber, then another brushing of the same mix but less black. This is the first time I have tried this and quite happy but there is always room for improvement. When totally dry it will receive a matt coat. I still have to add the nail heads.







Next a mixture of scratched and bits from the spares box were painted up. Not to worried about them as they will be inside the shed to form a bit of clutter.





Apologies for the bad pictures not an art I have mastered.

Cheers
Scottie

Not a lot done and I apologise for the bad photo I will try and take a better one later. I have attached the lean to, to the building but prior to that I ran some green pigments into the stonework. The oil drum was positioned in the back corner and some old planks of wood lent up against it. The tools were then hung on the posts.

Looks totally convincing Scottie - you wouldn't know it's a model.

Thanks Peter that's why I keep the pictures blurry.

Looks like even the die hard followers have given up on this :tongue-out3:
I have started on the base but still not 100% sure what I am going to do. I have laid out the main items and fairly happy with it the cart may move further into the corner under a tree I plan to put a there. The wall needs to be fixed and weathered. The base will also receive some texturing to give it some lumps and bumps.







cheers
