not stew again.

I have started work on the lean to. It is a mixture of coffee stirrers and evergreen sheet. The only other addition is the wooden dowels on the joints made from evergreen rod.
Hoping to make it look old and neglected.






I have to add nail heads etc and the same wooden slats to the end wall.

As always thanks for looking

Hi Scottie
Great stuff once again. Mixing wood and styrene is a nice idea especially as you can paint styrene to look like wood so well. Only danger is that your styrene will look more wooden than your wood :tongue-out3: :thinking:

Jim, Thanks mate your right I never thought of that I will have to give that some thought.

Some more done to the lean to, the back panels have been added and some batons to the top for the tiles. Next it was covered in grey primer and when dry burnt umber oils were brushed in to the grain. When this has dried for a few days I will dry brush with light greys and whites to try and represent old faded wood.


Next a board with some pegs to hang some tools up inside



A section of roof was made in the same way as the main building. I have left a big hole in it. I'm not sure if I should a, leave it open, b, cover in ald bit of tarp, or c, a piece of wriggly tin.



Finally started making some tools to hang on the pegs. A scythe which I may make again and a rake.



comments or suggestions as always welcomed.

It just keeps getting better and better Paul. Love the idea of tools and a hanging rail for them.

Roof could possibly be left open with a couple of gnarly old buckets underneath to catch the drips?
