Bar Mills - The Barn At Jackson Corners

[Larry.h]

My old western town will need a carriage / blacksmith shop. The Barn At Jackson Corners should be a good starting point. I want a building that has been in service for a couple of decades, but was never painted.

After coloring the walls with Prismacolor markers, I found that the doors in the kit did not look like I wanted, so I scratch built some to suit.

Larry, really nice weathering to start that build.  I like your technique for making it look like individual board construction.  The difference in weathering from the top of the wall to the bottom is also very convincing.

Interesting looking kit.....I'll be looking in Larry.

Looks great Larry.

[Mark Dalrymple]

Looks great, Larry.

I agree - the weathering looks very nice.  Its also a refreshing colouring with the red tinge.

Cheers, Mark.

GP, PRR modeler and Mark , glad you could join. Appreciate the compliments.

The walls are test fit in this picture. All the walls are going together as planned.  I added more bracing than the plans call for.

Looks really nice. Do you have a old west layout?

[Janbouli]

The wood looks great , and an old West layout is cool.

Carl,
I belong to an HOn3 module group here in Denver. I'm building the Cimarron, Colorado helper yard in 1886. So far there are twenty two structures on the module set. A mix of kit and scratch built. Once the scenery is complete, I'll be building another module set that represents a Colorado mountain mining town.

After a few days away from the bench, I was able to get back to the barn. Here we have the barn walls glued together and the roofs test fit.

Larry,

Very nicely done on the old barn, love the weathering on the bottom. Next time at the club how about some photos of how it looks. Inquiries minds and all that.

Tom, do you mean photos of Cimarron?

Larry,

Yes, and any photos of your HOn3 modules.

I'll start a new thread on my modules. I've taken photos from the planning stage to very recent.
