Lady Ferguson Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 That old barn is beautifully done. It looks so real - stonework is a particularly clever finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Menheniot? I've been there in a Saxo, no problem. I also tried going there in a 44t artuc when I was on brick an block........ I was stuck in the lane for five hours :'( Love that old stone building, very nice and typical of Cornwall too.

graham Posted January 9, 2012 Author Share Posted January 9, 2012 thanks for the replys ,the buildings are made from 6mm mdf ,i try to mitre corners for better finish , i just use standard pollyfiller apply this to the buildings with a 1 inch putty knife some areas thicker than others with this type finish if i do brickwork i try to get to get it smoother , then i use some special tools a cocktail stick and a 3 inch nail to scribe in the effect i want , sometimes you have to wait until filler has started to dry out a bit trial and error , then leave to dry then brush to clean any loose bits of ,then i paint on neat pva to seal the filler leave to dry ,paint the colour you need .then i get a small brush and in the groves that you made with the special tools paint in neat pva and i add concete dust for cement [ i do a lot of concrete drilling with my work and with my anorak on i collect the dust that i make it is cheaper than the packs of scatter] but painting will give you same effect hope this helps a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp7810 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 sounds easy enough but must take ages to scribe out all the stone,but well worth the effort,thanks for the explanation,will give it a go at some stage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I love those grain bins and the little cleaner in between with the augers. Looks so typical of the farms I visit down that way. The stone effect works wonders, I used it for my concrete yards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
