longshanks Posted December 30, 2021 Author Share Posted December 30, 2021 (edited) It's been a while, mainly due to poor healthĀ A few tit bits to keep your interest Ā There will be posts supporting the roof with half brick walls in between Ā Polyfilla block, bricks carved, six shades of paint and grouted with coloured polyfilla Ā Not 100% sure about this but.... I,ve covered the original green with a blue wash allowing the green previous coat to show through Ā Ā What do you think??? Ā Window in barn wall Ā Ā Thanks for looking in Ā Wishing you all a great 2022Ā Ā Stay safe Ā Kev Edited December 30, 2021 by longshanks 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnWS Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Hi Kev. Ā I like the blue weathered & faded look. Ā I'm wondering if the bottom of the doors should look more weathered, e.g. peeled paint & bare wood slivers showing some rot or maybe some moss growth. Ā Happy New Year to you & your family. Ā Stay safe! Ā John 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
