Restoration needed

[Guest]

Today I have made a couple of additions to the equipment an old compressor and a welding set up. The cart for the bottles was scratch built as I didn't like the one in the kit. I will begin the weathering tomorrow on anything that needs it.[ATTACH]91839.IPB[/ATTACH]

Looking good Terry, really like the detailing

Today I have weathered most of the bits to go around the barn and added some leaf debris along with some more weathering to the floor.

[Guest]

Well done with this Terry, your aging etc. is superb.

[Guest]

Terry, I've just caught up with this and I have to say mate WOW this is amazing work. I like the paint work on the jeep and the 251 and the little extras like the cob webs very very nice, you have done a bang up job on the barn itself, I like it.

This really it turning out to be a great build Terry, the attention to detail is second to non, keep up the good work

[Guest]

Thanks for the kind words of encouragement guys they really are appreciated. As I have said in a previous post on this build I am having a blast doing it. The only problem I am having is that of reigning it on the ideas front with regards what to add to this build. The last thing I want to do is over do it and have it looking over worked.

[monica]

your doing a great job on this one, as for over adding, I think your self

as some barn,s and shed,s i have seen have that much in them,just go with your

feels on it ,when it looks good to your eye ,

It's looking superb Terry, great job of the vehicles themselves but it's all the little details that draw your eye in. I agree with Monica- just keep adding stuff and enjoying yourself, until you feel it's finished (though it's the kind of project that might never be finished as you could add more details indefinitely over time).

[Guest]

Thanks Moni and Mike I know where yo are coming from when you say about sheds and barns Moni but I don't want it to get to a point where you can't see the wood for the trees if you know what I mean. I would rather have it so there is just enough to catch the eye and make you want to look to see what is lurking in the corners without having to much to take in.

s update goes a bit like this finished weathering a few bits stuck a few bits n bobs in the two boxes I made. I then made a couple of hay/straw bales before sticking the tracks in place. This was then follewd by scattering some straw around the barn. Once dry some of the other bits were stuck in place around the the walls of the barn like the welder the work bench etc.

[monica]

looking real good Terry, and I know what you mean.,

just have to ask these hay bales are great, may I ask what did you use for them,as thats a new one on me,o_O

as i would use the hair from corn or a old paint brush
