I'm a bit behind in posting modeling updates, but here's one again.
Another building added to my 1939 1/72 Polish village: a barn. It's not based on any historical example, I just went for the right atmosphere.
As with the previous ones, first a styrene rough build.The lean-to on the left is just to provide some variation in shape.
Since I had some warping issues with previous buildings, I braced the reverses first.
The walls clad with coffee stirrers.
And the completed walls assembled.
A cheap towel volunteered to be the thatched roof.
The walls primed. I find that a grey chalk primer with a brown wash give a nice aged wood look.
First wash came out a bit too cocolate-like.
Gave it a second coat to tone it down, and called it done.
