All the boards are now fitted , a few have been left off and a couple broken to give the derelict look . I cut fourteen of the roof sheets from the corrugated cardboard to a scale 8x 3 then peeled the back off the first couple of corrugations so they can be overlapped . They have now been fitted and I decided to leave the last two off so they can be laid loose on the base . I just need to source a paper straw for the ridge caps then I can think about painting them .
The barn doors were made in a ledge and brace style , not sure if theyre both going to be hung or if one is going to be hanging off or even laid on the floor .IMG_8352.webpIMG_8353.webpIMG_8354.webpIMG_8355.webpIMG_8357.webpIMG_8356.webpIMG_8358.webpIMG_8362.webpIMG_8363.webpIMG_8364.webp

Cheers colin , I’m going to dust it up a bit , it looks a bit too clean . I painted the tyres dark grey but they still look a bit fresh so I have a cunning plan .
 
Amazing work Tony. Looks like you are using a plastic straw for the cap. I can't remember the last time I saw a plastic straw, all we can get here now are paper straws that go soggy if you're too slow drinking.
 
Looking very good. Definitely heading in the right direction. In true Ron style you'd better get some driveway sweepings to add to the groundwork 😁😄😁

Good spot Joe , I was intending to use the plastic straw but found nothing sticks to it , superglue just doesnt work and pva either . Looks like I’m on the hunt for a paper straw - the only good use for one !
 
Pop into a McDonalds and grab a handful of paper straws. No doubt other fast food outlets have them too.
