1/35 mini art French barn

[Guest]

Thank you Monica for your great feed back .
Everything on the dio was done by me but I must hold my head in shame as the tree I bought new ready made.


I did not try to fool anybody I was only just starting out and thought that's what was done.


I did not know how to build my own trees back then.


It looked like the right scale so I used it .


Hope this does not effect the other areas of my work .


Sorry guys I feel bad now

Why? Nothing wrong with buying a tree. It isn't cheating or deceptive at all, be proud of a great model..


Oh, yes, MiniArt can be a pain to fit together especially if you don't do a great job cutting them out. I have one to do for my Waffenträger, simple one to build. However the skill is in bringing them to life with paint and if I did half as well as you did on this one, I would be ecstatic

Absolutely nothing wrong in using a pre made tree and it does not affect other area's of your work(it enhances it)


Us modeller's use what we can to make a finished project look great.


Does it make us less of a modeller if we can't sculpt our own figure's for a diorama?No..

Don't feel bad that's what it's all about I do like the tree but only because I know how difficult trees are to make so I for one would have done the same


It's a cracking good build and if I thought I could get anywhere as good I would give it a go myself I particularly like the paintwork on the doors

Thank you for your feedback Roger really appreciate it.


A few have said the same now about the paint work on the doors so I must be doing something right.

I have never tried a scratch-built tree. I think it would be very difficult to get it right, which could spoil the model. (I once saw a tutorial on making an oak tree. The author had stamped out or cut out piles of oak leaves, probably over 500 which would not be enough!) I fancy making a small tree using the stalks of a bunch of grapes, clad in some sort of greenery.

I will try to make a tree one day but I am not at that level yet
