I would believe so Mike as it is quoted as being a 6 piece set.

yea...I think you're right...the doors might be removeable to make 6 pieces...

I think the roof comes of

so

1) Roof
2) Building
3) Ladder
4) Rake
5) Pitchfork
6) I could be wrong but I think there is a removable hayloft

Hey all, I have been working away still on our barn and I want to share some more pics

I have added some hinges made from aluminum foil...the bolt of the hinge is a strip from a paperclip, the door handle is the curved portion of a paperclip..

I have also included a preview of "Barnyard Ambush!" Here you can see how the barn and outbuilding are going to look in the diorama...

enough preview pics

 

[Gustavflyer]

OK, a few more preview pics!!

Enjoy!

I am working on another outbuilding for the dio, it may become a rabbit hutch or chicken coop or a simple dry storage structure to keep things off the ground and away from nightly critters!

until next time...

 

[Gustavflyer]

Did some painting and weathering on the smaller buildings today, long way to go but happy with the start so far!

till next time! the large barn is 80% complete!

Very "Wintery!" What are you using for the roof shingles? Is that an Evergreen product?

Hi Scott, the shingles are by Plastruct and are the Wood Shake Shingles...these are great to use, you just cut the pattern out with scissors, sand the edges smooth and attach with white glue, it saves alot of time and I love using them!

 

[Scott]

Thanks! I just found it on-line.

 

[Gustavflyer]

Did some weathering on both structures today, the shingles still have to be painted but the rest of the outbuildings are finished, I was trying to get the look of aged and really weathered wood, hope you like it

more to follow...

 

[Gustavflyer]

I have now added an old fence to the scene, this is too much fun!!

wood grain detail....

a gate will be put here, note the butter churn...

thats all for now, more to come!
