My first entry into the challenge this season and putting a few points up. Although I'm not likely to ever have much it's a start! It's also my first post of the new year so once again Happy New Year everyone! Every since I saw this from Renedra Terrain I knew I had to have it. I would say it's probably the best terrain piece they have made. It has excellent character and just checks the boxes for me.
While it fits perfectly for AWI and ACW it's useful for other periods and could be used as early as the French and Indian War right on up to modern times. The composition of the design is excellent and in fact I may get another one and modify it a bit so it's different.
I enjoyed painting the barn very much as you can really "go to town" so to speak on creating effects on old wood. I wanted the barn to look old and dirty with mold and moss beginning to take over. I used mostly craft paints and MIG pigments to get the effects I was after.
The markers were made from bits from the Rubicon Allied Stowage Set 1 and are quite nice! I plan on getting a hold of the German set to make some markers for my Germans as well. They are 28mm or 1/56 scale and I painted them with Vallejo paints and some MIG pigments.

Superb work, Christopher! Your barn is jaw-droppingly gorgeous. I am interested in how you managed such good weathering effects.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
Thank you very much Jonathan! I used MIG pigments with a dry brush and the pigments applied in a dry form with no fixer.
