The Barberton House 1:87

Recommended Posts

Greetings ... this is a little 1:87 dio I am currently working on, it's The Barberton House.  When I'm not building I spend a lot of time sketching old houses, barns, and sheds in little pocket notebooks, this build is based off of one of those sketches.  I wish I could find that sketch!  I used Northeastern Scale Lumber for the siding, the windows and doors are a combo of Tichy Train and NSL.  This will sit on a little foam base surrounded by a few old Rusty Stumps resin clutter piles and some landscaping.  The tin roof is also from NSL and the tar paper is art paper.  I used a variety of enamel washes and pigments to weather everything.  I am also realizing that using my phone has been convenient to take photos the default image format is not so forum friendly.

Thanks ... Erik

I particularly like the open door and the curtain hanging out over the window ledge Erik, because it is these sort of details that really interest me for any diorama.

This is nicely done in 1:87 scale, and I hope you find your pocket notebook sketch !
