not stew again.

Just for Mr Race I have been working on the doors. I wanted them to look as if they had been neglected for a few years but not sure if I have overdone it. I would be interested in you opinion. The little mesh door in the corner will be for the chicken coup.
The next bit will be to put the roof on then add the guttering etc.

I have tried to represent a stable type door. It is made from plastic sheet with plastic hinges, pewter rivets for the hinge bolts and a lever latch made from copper wire and pewter sheet.



The other doors were all made in the same way.



The next pictures show them fitted







thanks for looking
Scottie

Veilen danke mein freund,
Really glad you like it. The horse shoe came in an old etch set I knew I would find a use for it one day. Good to know your keeping an eye on me.

[Allen Dewire]

Paul,

I wouldn't miss one second of your fine work. It is always a pleasure to see what you create next and I love every minute of it. Do you happen to remember which etch set??? Sorry to be a pain Bro!!!

[scottie3158]

Allen, You could never be a pain mate:smiling3:
The ones I had came on a small set included in a tank kit, which one I cannot remember but you can get these Link. Hope this helps

The doors are totally convincing Scottie. Those acute powers of observation have come to the fore again. You need to write a book and share your skills with the rest of the world.
