Another of The Master's buildings.
I needed a barn for the small farmyard being created on my home layout. On consulting Miniature Building Construction, I found on page 67 a very nice drawing. Out came the card and here is the result. The roof presented one or two problems but we got there in the end. I decided to use Scalescenes 'Plain Clapboard' instead of scribing the planks. I must say that I am quite pleased with the look of the walls. The Scalescenes printed sheets were sprayed with matt varnish which allowed me to weather using watercolour paints without the fear of the ink running. Here are a couple of photos, one before weathering and one of the finished article…

Although a Scalescenes addict/enthusiast I have never been entirely convinced by his printed woodwork. Your weathering has made me think again

Oh, Dr Beeching what have you done?
There once were lots of trains to catch, but soon there will be none.
I'll have to buy a bike, 'cos I can't afford a car.
Oh, Dr Beeching what a naughty man you are!
