Tractorman810 Posted January 2, 2013 Author Share Posted January 2, 2013 cheers guys, was sat pondering the layout while doing these, and am considering a change arround with it ,looking at removing the big barn at the back, and reusing the scaleoox for a new building ,and putting the house there in its place, then removing the newest machinery barn and replacing it with a older pole barn for machinery, with a granary area behind that on the road in where the un finished breeding unit it, and maybe another pair of anderson units?? or more where the newest piggery is, as given the kit i use, these 3 buildings just look to new? well at least the machinery shed at least .

Luke (DeWitt) Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Impressive work Sean. I am working on adding shingles to a one of my barns and it's tedious enough considering they are in strips. I can't imagine individual shingles My hat is off to you sir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 cheers luke ,its a bit tedious at times, but with luck will be worth the time at the end ,got the extra pack of tiles today, along with some other bits ,so hopefully this weekend i can finish the tiles, in town tommorrow so will get some matt terracotta paint to tone the finish down on them, ,have also been messing with the wall finish, and think i have it about right now, so nearly time to put all the timber stuff in place ,facia boards windows doors ect 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted January 5, 2013 Author Share Posted January 5, 2013 well its all roofed now, totaled up at 1410 tiles on this, so may take a few days break from it just to recharge, have put a matt terracotta paint on it, although right now that seems a bit bright ???it will be weathered down in time, once its finally dried 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMB Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 You could try a blackish/brown wash over the top to dull it? I quite like the effect, the tiles could almost be glistening under the sun after a heavy shower. Perhaps you could even add some algae/moss to age it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 there will be tris, i forgot to bring the silver foil stick paper we have at work home to do that, will also be doen the side between the house and front of the garage, now they are in place i can cut them properly and put that in, there will be moss added to it ,got that in the loft, there will prob be at least one other colour washed over, even if its in patches?? as they do look a bit bright even in this colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 And round chimney. I think a dull green like you say fror the weathering, old clay tiles always hod moisture for algae and moss to grow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Ferguson Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Huge improvement, Sean - will look perfect with the weathering. What sort of paint did you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 mm didnt think of the green trissy, that would prob work pretty well thinking about it, the paints just normal humbrol mandy , matt 100, reddy brown i think its called, was the closest to terracotta / clay i could find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted January 20, 2013 Author Share Posted January 20, 2013 well i had a go at weathering one side of the roof this evening , i aint really to sure how well its come out to be honest, its a bit hard to see in the pics but any help would be gratefull, its been a long time since i have seen a old suffolk teracotta tiled roof, its all slate and concrete ones round this way 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Looks A ok, Sean. It doesn't want a lot, just enough to dull it down and age it and looking at the results, I'd say you have achieved that look just nicely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
