fendtenator Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 That is a great build. I really like the shot looking into the shed with the roof sheets on the floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted January 26, 2019 Author Share Posted January 26, 2019 thanks guys, its slowly starting to come together now, managed to get a bit more done today,but only after spending 4 hours odd getting parts and fixing the toilet ,that my brother managed to break last night,after he tried to fix what i already knew was broken not a lot really but got my side cladding satined,have done it very wishy washy to try and get a weathered look, was a tad worried its very close to the roof colour though, 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stabliofarmer Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Suits the cladding, looking good overall. I'd say that there shouldn't be a major difference in colour between roof and walls, after a while nature has a habit of making everything a similar colour. Personally I'd say maybe every part could be a little darker. But given you are modeling 20/30 years ago the weathering shouldn't be as drastic or heavy as if you were modelling the same sheds today when some more of the newness would have worn off, so you've probably got it bang on.

Popular Post Tractorman810 Posted January 26, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 26, 2019 cheers james, got a bit more done now, roof all fitted in on the big side, plus the remaining 10 sheets for the small bit first coated, also had a final test of the single liht in the barn,and am happy i only need the one, i domt ever recal our barns having huge amounts of lights, some didnt have any at all, so as the ford shows i think its plenty ,just enough to see what you need 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
