Deere-est Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 how well has the scatter stuck??, i had problems with mine. Did you just lay a coat and sprinkle or did you spray some PVA/Water mix over the top I just smeared some tatty old wood glue over it, scattered the scatter over it and then tamped it down with a bit of wood. To be honest though, it would have been better with a water/pva mix and a bit of sand and paint all mixed in to get that weathered look. I'll try it a later date with some sawdust and dirt and see where it gets us. The stone is glued pretty well now mate. Cheers for compliments everyone, yeah TM thats exactly what it will be. Either make a gate & baler twine barrier round it for cattle or I can put excess straw in it or something. Just a quick knock up basically but turning out better than I thought already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted May 8, 2007 Author Share Posted May 8, 2007 that looks very good tris have i not looked as this properly how did you get that effect tris ??? am i being empty head \ \ Better do a quick write up actually come to think of it. . Matt black slapped on the corrugated card a little bit sparingly so as not to have it to thick. No worries if it is a bit streaky. Leave it to dry which doesn't take lnog as the card soaks up the moisture. In doing so the card contorts though so either cut bigger than needed and clamp down flat or press flat once the paint is dry. With the paint dry and the card straight, take a narrow brush and some silver paint and maje scrappy untidy brush strokes up and down the corrugations. Each time giving it a fairly good wipe with a rag to dull it down. Once this is done do the same with a rust colour in patches at your discretion. Voila. The little bit of foliage along the bottom is cheap too - glue covered in white sugar and painted green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe even the yellow high voltage signs on the old telegraph poles which have been used for the frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdc Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 That looks the business Tris. If the shed is to be authentic like our timber & corrugated shed, it should lean about 10 degrees from vertical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, I need a lot of space as I am buying a shed from someone. . Yes, I am intending to attend - not with the display, though either, as I'm too much of a novice at pres, and am hoping to get lots of ideas (and probably spend too much money!) in the hope of doing something next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
