The old Barn
if you ever wondered were my profile pic was taken.. you´ve got the answer 😉
by the way... the light can be swiched on..
way overscaled for 1:87, but perfect for 1:35
Framework buildings are a fairly easy affair: once you´ve choosen a pattern (these can vary from region to region), you build up the wooden elements. Use wire to bolt the sticks together, and add boltings from the outside (toothpick eg.)
when you´ve stained the wood, you can add the filling. Be creative here, you can show the the inner part (twigs like in the upper lest corner) or create new ones like bricks or stones. I´ve glued paper on the rear side and filed it with air clay
after putting up the supporting structure, I´ve started guleing the roof on
I´ve used half of this big brush on and it took me quite a while, but it was worth it 😉
HOW TO DO WOOD: all you need (apart from wood glue): saw, cutter, wire brush (to create some real woodgrain), a lighter (to burn off excess created by the wire brush) and my special tools:
two biros, both fitted with needels, great for making nail holes, applying glue or wahtever else...
wood stain, acrylic and oils in white, burnt umber and black
building a bench... usual bloting with wire for stability, wood garin with a cutter added (woood was too hard for the wire brush)
stained
covered with white acrylic colour, let it dry properly
cover the white with the other colours from before, start with the acrylics untlil you get the effect you like

william wisethis is really nice you have to post a tutorial on how to scratch your own buildings i would love to know how to do this i really like the thatched roof and even the little mouses

james johnsoncool stuff! I'm okay with building the major elements, its the little clutter that gives me brain cramps. And its that little clutter that really makes it come alive.

Fabian D.Thanks mates... I've dug this build out yesterday and was quite a bit busy figureing out how I did this and that😉
The mice are from a 1:87 set by the German company "Busch"... I'll add some explaining pictures tomorrow

Fabian D.here goes the first part (starting at pic 10)... netx part will follow tonight...
concerning the clutter: metioning all would definetly be too much, but if you got questions feel free to ask... basicially everyting what´s not looking like wood, wire or foil, is air clay...

started some time ago... must have been around 2012
apart from the mice everything was build from scratch, balsa wood, new years rocket sticks, air clay, wire, metal foil, and some printed paper...
