Reply to "Old Barn and Corn Field"

Thank you to all the comments posted thus far.

 

A little background on the 11"x14" diorama...

 

It started off as a laser cut "craftsman" kit called the "Texas Barn". I forgot the name of the company that made it. I did make quite a few changes to the barn itself, such as taking out a scale 5' from the width, adding three windows (2 on the side and 1 on the backside), adding the "stone" foundation on the one side (1:35 military casting), and completely "re-sheathing" the outside with 1x8 scale wood, which was of course distressed. I also added the door track and related supports.

 

The roofing is basically black craft paper which was given a light brushing of dirt-colored paint and then weathered with chalks. The land "contours" are created using Sculptamold and I used Woodland Scenics for most of the scenery, including the gravel/dirt driveway. The farmer and dog are from Arttista. The truck is a 1:43 scale pickup I repainted and weathered with a sponge and rust-colored paints.

 

As noted in my original posting, I plan to re-take the photos as I think I screwed up with the white balance...
