Tractorman810 Posted January 14, 2019 Author Share Posted January 14, 2019 cheers guys ,its slowley getting to where i want it to be , always learning from other topics on here how to get better effects. after last nights fun at work, and a few hours kip, 4 to be exact,so i sleep tonight, i have now plastered the inside walls of the workshop, and the lower barn walls , also got the base coat on the outer walls ready to weather up, this means i need to build the basic outer frame work of the barn so i know where to weather down to on the rear wall over the barn,no point weathering up whats not going to be seen once the barn roof is clad. only got the main beam in so far and front ends, once they set i can do the rear parts and beams 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COWBOY Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Looks great, love the detail in the layout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mb86 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Looks great Sean. The darker blocks didn't look too far of for colour in your photos nice to see more old buildings on the layout, not all farms can afford to replace old sheds with these wide single span brushwood or masons attic kits.

Tractorman810 Posted January 14, 2019 Author Share Posted January 14, 2019 i know mart, this seems to have dried a bit lighter than it looked in the chart at b&q , was the only tester pot they had left in that shade so i got it ,could yet regret painting it al ,normally i test a wall first ,hopefully ,it will all be darkened down with the weathering so it wont shows to much,that or its another pot of a darker shade again, luckly they only cost £1.70 so not expensive 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just wondering what did you use to plaster the walls with? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted January 14, 2019 Author Share Posted January 14, 2019 its basicly a house filler, called “easy fill” , set quick and easily sanded, have a bag from my brother, set in a nice white shade . 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 got a first wash of the darker colour back on tonight, just drying, so pics once dome, may have over done it on 2 parts, so will need to see how it dries, the rest of the powders are on their way, so with luck i can bring it back out with those rather than repaint the 2 areas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted January 19, 2019 Author Share Posted January 19, 2019 mmm not sure right now, its had a mix and theres several shades in it now, but i am not sure it its to dark now weridly the bit on the inside of the barns come out way better than the outer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted January 19, 2019 Author Share Posted January 19, 2019 also started weathering up the roof sheets, only the base colours, they will get a lighter coat,plus green stains etc once all in place, that wont be till the timber works stained up, and the last lights fitted in the barn 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret90 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 you've got the colour of the roof sheets just right, looking bloomin good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted January 19, 2019 Author Share Posted January 19, 2019 cheers for that, i am happy with the roof, its the walls i am not sure on, they just look to dark and plain to me, i think i will repaint a base coat and try again, the inside is what i am after ,but for some reason the outer ones went very dark. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted January 20, 2019 Author Share Posted January 20, 2019 after an unexpectibly busy day, i have had another go at the outer walls, and i think i have got it how i want it now, have managed to lighten it up now , all with the weathering powders, and very little of it, amazed how far they go with a few drops of decal fix ,there will be some green and rust stains on it to in some places ,plus ivy and alikes . will get the timbers stained up next, and fit the floor and stairs inside ,again staining them up. have also done a few more roof sheets, glad i got the 50 pack as i suspect i wont have many left once done, also need to try and find some office furniture , anyone got any ideas, otherwise i may just wall it off at the front with a window overlooking the workshop and leave it till i can sort something 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 managed to get some more work on the walls tonight, and got a fair better overall finish, sadly the rooms lighting is a bit dark to get a decent pic so will do that tomorrow,but i am much happier with it now,on all 4 sides, have also got another batch of roof sheets started, think i am short to clad the sides as well, so i will need to order some more, although i do have another option for it .

Tractorman810 Posted January 25, 2019 Author Share Posted January 25, 2019 day off as planned today,no call outs ,so had a bit of time on it, side cladding on, just needs a stain applied, prob the same as the frame work? was going to clad it like the roof, then remembered i had this from a barn that got broken by my size 12’s a while back so went with this. also started the doors on the workshop, and now got all the roof sheets for the main side first step weathered , finlas once all fitted 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
