Well I have had some challenges that I am working through on the base the damn tac glue that I used between the sheets of foam keep separating so not progress on the scenery side… so I switched gears to get back to the bridge weathering and farm cart weathering, thanks for watching as things progress

Have been working on the barn structure…and yes those are real stones for the foundationE2B54DF5-1128-4600-90EE-60B716BB6014.jpeg46586D97-2C07-4DA5-A7D4-F6933EECCB56.jpegE15B1605-BEC0-4270-ACF8-8499E4D061A1.jpeg
 
Joe, first the barn and cart look great.
What's the problem with the TAC glue, not holding ? Don't know if your foam board is the extruded type made by Dow. Some glues doesn't work with an extruded form like they do with others such as polystyrene.
 
That is one solid looking foundation Joe.......should add a little stability to the diorama base as well...pretty "hefty" I'll bet. Rick H.
 
Joe,

Just had a catch-up. That really is coming on very, very well indeed.

Hope you sort the glue problems out.

ATB.

John,
Just separation between layers. Think I’ve solved the problem. Some updates on the base.. starting the vegetation and started painting of the barn..still have the roof to put on but working on placement of everything at the moment. Thanks for watching and the compliments everyone

Hi Joe
Really well thought out, neat work. Definitely coming together now. The bridge and the cart look great all weathered. Barn is nice. Real stones! That's going the extra mile :thumb2:
Jim
 
Joe, glad you've sorted that out .
Great modelling showing some varied detail.

Finally decided to take a stab at the roof.. was on the fence about the decision..also decided to add an old Sdkfz 2 kettenkrad to the mix. I had built this a long time ago and never did anything with it..pulled it apart…carefully …. and now adding some PE to jazz it up. Thanks for the compliments that everyone has given ..stay tuned for more pics soon.

Groundwork looking good Joe. Roofing not bad...the thatched roof could do with some treatment of weathering. Any natural material normally used in smaller scale tend to look clean and needs treatment to flow with the surrounding. The ends could droop from rain flow...I would use ends of a Chinese pigs hair lacquer paint brush for this. Not too late if you want to try it Joe.
Wow, bling is nicely applied. This is something I seldom do unless its on a ship or if the kit provides PE. But I marvel at those that use and have them on their armoured kits. The Kett will look good painted up with the detail added.

Cheers,
Richard
