Model a barn

The inspiration for this diorama came from the many farm buildings that I pass when on Dartmoor or in the countryside surrounding the River Dart. You will see the techniques I used to create rust on the corrugated roof and create texture to the cornerstones on the barn.
This diorama gave me the opportunity to work with Das clay, grey stones and a range of static grasses from WWS and Woodland scenics.
I hope my video is of interest to anyone who enjoys making dioramas, model railways or war gaming layouts.
I hope you agree that the final photographs demonstrate how easy it is to create something that looks realistic. Why not have a go yourself?

You're not a modeler nearly as much as you are a mason. I was thinking you were about to show an easy way to make a stone building...man was I wrong. Can't argue with the results though. Beautiful.
