A Barn & Revisting the House (and trying to improve it!)

Hi everyone,

In between the two units of Union Cavalry, I decided to focus some of my free time on another piece of scenery – a barn.

The build is the same as the house, with an interior structure made of foam board cut-outs and coffee stirrers. The pictures below should exchange well than a thousand words.

I have not finished the barn as yet, but it will be ready by next week – as far as the building is concerned.

I also revisited the first house I built.  I was really unhappy with it, even though it was the first time I built something like this.  I went back and redid the chimney with smaller bricks that are more in scale with the 1/72 figures.  I also repainted the door and windows white to give the structure some variety.  I also painted the windows black instead of white.  This helps them stand out better – just pretend the house is empty!

That is all for this week.  From tomorrow I will continue with the barn and start the second Union cavalry unit.

Until then, stay safe and have fun.

Great start on the barn, and those are some well-considered alterations to the house. Well done on last week’s Golden Button, very well deserved.
