Old Race Cars In An Abandoned Barn

[DaveInTheHat]

I scratch built the building out of plaster, sticks, and junk mail. The vehicles are modified from old models that are more like toys.

Here's the link to the pictures I took while I was building this:

I'm getting an inferiority complex! Amazing!

I can't talk right now - Too busy smashing up my creations!

Seriously, Wonderful Work!

I'm curious about technique, if you don't mind: Do you do a layer of ground cover everywhere, then build on with static grass and all the other scenery bits, or do you do static grass first, then fill in with the ground cover?

Thanks!

First I prime with Kilz primer. Then I paint my base a dirt color. Next I cover everything with at least one layer of dirt. Then I'm ready for grass and other stuff.

Excellent! Your eye for detail is fantastic on all your builds!

Dave- The "AMERICAN PICKERS" will be by next week to look thru that barn.Hold out for a good price on those race cars.
That is an excellent scenery idea and I plan to steal it for my own layout. Thanks!

Did everyone notice the nest with 4 eggs in the red birdhouse?

I only counted two. You must be seeing double.

You need your new glasses checked, Willie! Did you notice the three crickets on the ground by the door?

How about the anthill under the tree?
