small update off yesterdays work

the base has set nicely in the 30c tep so nice and baked a mix off garden dirt with 50/50 PVA/water

painted the 4 roof parts , the longest one has a was off green/brown to tone it down ,still need to rest with a few more washers

then add them to the stable with posts and face boards was things to use 2.5mm x 2.5mm for them

wreathed up the stable think i may leave as is ? any suggestions welcome

not happy at all with the well may bin it and start a new one smaller , do it 30mmx30mm instead of 40mmx 40mm

need to redo the stones with lite/dark grays to make them stand out a bit more

Hi moni,

looking great, coming nicely together, maybe instead of a square well try a round well at 25mm or 30mm (875mm / 1050mm as being round, optically could look better in the overall picture because your barn is square.

Cheers Richi

hi guys thank you for the nice comments do appreciate it

i will give that a try Richi thank you ,any think will look better than that one its not that bright red just shows up that way ops:

[Ian M]

Maybe the well would look better in the same stone as the other walls.

It all looks very good.

I like what you've done so far Monica. I agree with Ian though. A farmer using local materials for his barns would very probably use the same materials for all his building tasks.

I too like your work so far Monica, very nicely done.

[monica]

thanks for the nice comments guys

I will change the well any way just did not like it, maybe it will be happy in the bin

I will do what Richi said and do a round one, but as you have said Ian/Gern is so right to make it from stone blocks and not bricks thanks guys good idea

[monica]
