Canute Posted August 6, 2021 Share #1264 Posted August 6, 2021 Some straw clipping strewn about will look good, too. Maybe a bucket of feed or water, too. Our stable doors were too narrow to run a front end loader into the stall. Best we could do was throw it thru the doorway into the bucket. popeye the sailor, Old Collingwood, Egilman and 3 others 6 Quote Ken Started: MS Bounty Longboat, On Hold: Heinkel USS Choctaw paper Down the road: Shipyard HMC Alert 1/96 paper, Mamoli Constitution Cross, MS USN Picket Boat #1 Scratchbuild: Echo Cross Section Member Nautical Research Guild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Collingwood Posted August 6, 2021 Author Share #1266 Posted August 6, 2021 Evening all, work on the stables continues - first thing I did was to add a few more dirty washes to the walk through stones, then I had some lower paint touch up to do where the base plates met the walls, next was the roof sections - these need some adjustment after me adjustment to the one stable (it was shortened) this will lead to a small amount triming off the one roof. The roof is dry fitted as I will need to keep it moving to lign both roofs up against each other and also where they meed the farmhouse. Talking of the farmhouse I decided to do a dry run to see how they look together - OC. king derelict, Canute, Waitoa and 9 others 12 Quote Current builds 28mm Battle of Waterloo attack on La Haye Saint Diorama. 1/700 HMS Hood Flyhawk with PE, Resin and Wood Decking.

And this, How to build a Grassinator http://www.pacificcoastairlinerr.com/grassinator/ I hope this helps as I can't find much in the way of tall grass in mats or sheets...

Old Collingwood Posted August 9, 2021 Author Share #1284 Posted August 9, 2021 Evening all, a bit more progress on the stables starting with one of those OMG Moments - I had painted the roofs yesterday and they had over night to dry, this evening I set about putting a wash over the tiles - same as I had done to the farmhouse, so no issues here, then I decided to run a wash over the stable walls - after doing this I managed to knock my jar of wash all over the table - it was a case of remove some of the wash on the walls as there was too much - or clean the table, the table won, I then knocked over my jar of water on the table that I use to clean my brushes. By the time I got round to working on the stable walls the wash had dried - so it was a case of re working some of the White and try to blend it into where it would meet the wash/shading from wear and tear - it was a case of wet and dry brush work - followed by a damp cloth to blend them into to each other. I have the one wall done (I think) the same treatment will be done to the other tomorrow. Talk about a palaver.
