Bill, Dan, Luigi, Rob, thanks mates ! A bit more done to the planks (exterior side), this is how it looks now in bright sunlight : And to keep it interesting I started the interior work to. I continue the rest of the wood later on... Old metal publicity signs as collection items : A wooden box was made too, for a shelf I will make later : The oil barrel is indicative. Best regards ! AG.

Luigi, I'll check that out for you my friend ! I let you know ! Thanks buddies ! I like the signs for their nice colors, I think they add sorta antique look to the barn. Today I've made vintage cookie drums and I used lemonade straws to make them. This kinda diorama work is what I love to do the most, creating stuff from rubbish... Best regards ! AG.

Stunning... All is missing are edible cookies, but I'm sure you'll find the way to add them

i think one of the reasons i shy away from dios is that folks like you make it look so easy and then i try and they look like rubble.
you have created a stunning piece of art so far sir.

Bill, it's all possible, sometimes a man's got to think creative. Dicky, I'm afraid EN even don't know me, he's super famous and when you see his work nothing but normal. Man, you'r words mean more to me than winning a Best of Show, honest ! Wouter, I think this is just for my showcase, every second I'm in my hobby cave I'm having a great time ! Joe, thanks mate, I still have a whole way to go. Luigi, I'll see how I can make plastic cookies LOL ! This will be my weekend project, I can't guarantee I'll succeed. I think it would be nice to install it in the barn. Love the red accent in the interior. ... Best regards ! AG.

Luigi, I keep that in mind !
Dicky, you're right, that's why I will make it a sun bleached one, with softer tones and of course a bit of paint damage and rust.
Leon, thanks !
Boots, that's quite supportive : fanbloodytastic sounds good !

Thanks friends, I'd like to give you all a Coke from the dispenser ! The build was fun to do, and quite easy. First paint's on, red how did you guess More red (sun bleached) and white coming up. And I'm going to make decals for the thing too, can't beat the feeling eh ?! Hope you like it... Best regards ! AG.

How are you going to do the decals for it? I mean, they're white, my printer doesn't print white...
And, of course, I stared at the monitor for a couple of minutes before answering, the red is perfect.

Elco, no mate gotta work the entire weekend.
Luigi, the decal paper is white, so that should make it possible.
Dicky, thanks bro, still a lot to do before it will be suitable for the barn. It needs romantic, soft color combinations.
