Every French Farm needs a well (I assume) so I made one........
Here I started with foam board shaped and brick work craved with balsa roof.

Then all under coated.........

I experimented next with painting and dry brushing.....seems to come out ok.....

Final results.....happy with it.



How it fits in with the other farm buildings......

"Well" mate, that's brilliant! ^&grin Seriously though, I reckon you don't need to buy any pre-made buildings or dio related products as you are a wiz at making them yourself!

My first attempt at casting, most impressed with the whole process I must say. Had some issues with air bubbles but that will take care of it's self with the more I do.
Below is the result of just two castings and about an hours effort, I have ordered five more moulds and will be casting heaps I think, many buildings to come.

[TomNT]

Wayne...

tap the molds with the edge of your putty knife after you pour them...and before you scrape the top of them...

you will see air bubbles release...

also be sure and use the "rinse agent" solution whe you spritz or dip them...that will take care of the bubbles...
