I got a paper straw at last so the ridge caps are now on and Ive hung the right hand door . Ive now started to think about what crap I’m going to fill the barn with. I had a couple of nearly right sized oil drums from the spares box but wanted a few more . The plastic drums are about 50 ltr size and I thought a few 25 ltr would be nice . Wine foil was cut to the right size and scored with a biro for the ridges then rolled round a pencil and glued .Tops and bottoms were cut and glued in and a cap and handle added . In true Ron fashion it then went off in a different direction and I ended up making a small car trailer with balsa , strips of stirring stick and a couple of wheels from the spares box . The tarp on the top is the Tunnocks wafer wrapper - it was standard fare when we used to meet up at Cosford . Its now painted up , rusted and had the hairspray/ grout treatment to dusty it up a bit.

That roof Tony is worthy of the
That capping is perfect.

Still making this up as I go along , I decided to add a fence at the back of the barn . Its the post and split rail type and cocktail sticks are perfect , split down the middle for the rails. Its had a coat of faded brown and a green wash .

Simply brilliant Tony. Excellent use of materials. It's all coming together very nicely. Did you have to take one for the team and drink or eat yourself into a coma to get the straw?

Ron would definitely approve Tony. Especially the Tunnocks wrapper, that's a brilliant touch!
