Finally, the fun stuff!

The cardboard roof had to be finished first, then I could trim the veneer to shape. A bit of acrylic putty was needed to fill the gaps, and I also stippled it on the roof for a bit of texture.
The barn door was again made from a single piece of styrene, scribed, textured, and distressed according to the reference images of the real building. Additional planks were made from 0.5mm styrene, and for plywood boards, I used 0.2mm sheets. This time I did all the wooden details without nails because the overall workload would become way too much for me :D So the drilled nail holes will have to do. I'm sure they'll look great after painting.
Other details were also made from Evergreen L and U profiles, and the electric wiring is a combination of brass tubes and lead wires. The electric junction in the photo seems very different from what we commonly use here in Eastern Europe, so I tried to 3D model a more accurate box for the UK setting.
I started working on the groundwork last night but I had to laminate two sides of the base in order to move forward. These were left to dry overnight (I'm using wood glue instead of double-sided tape this time), so I'll make more progress today. It'll be a combination of broken concrete and some dirt patches, and I think it's gonna look pretty sweet!

Thanks Martin- although I think the first part of your response got lost⦠;-)

The main reason - it's faster! :D And also, when it comes to really small bolt heads, I found that it's often hard to tell them apart from hex bolts. So when efficiency is my main objective, I go for this faster method. On more detailed projects (or smaller projects where I can focus more on the smaller details), I go for the hex nuts.

Martin, great job as always! What set do you use to make rivets (not just for this project in general- only round or do you recommend the hexagon as well)β¦ planning to invest when I visit the Veldhoven show π
