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.
The interior structure made out of foam-board cutouts.
The outer structure is done with cheap coffee stirrers.
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!
Re-scaled the chimney.
Painted up the door and windows white.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.
Thanks scribbs. Glad you agree – the chimney was an eyesore and I just could not let it be.
