Once the dirt dried on the west side of the barn, I added a few details and grass to the area.

Great little scene Tom.

Tom, I was going back over your tutorial on dirt roads from RR-Line, and I just wanted to confirm something.  When starting from 'blank scene', you would do the road first, and then the terrain to either side?

Yay! The cows finally have some shelter from the rain.

The scene looks nice, but having owned and tended cattle for many years, yours can't have been in the same space as those round bales for more than 5 minutes.

Wow Tom, the barn scene is amazing.  The colors, scenery, and details are fantastic.  Of course, they are what we expect from your modeling...    Have fun, mike

[Rick]

Dave,

Yes, that is how I do it. However, when adding to an existing scene, I've done it the other way. My preference is to always do the road first, then scenery on the sides.

Butty Bob,

Yes, now they can get out of the liquid snow.

James,

Funny you should say that about the bales. I was on the way up I-95 to my cousins funeral last month. Just north of Gainesville, Fl. I passed a pasture with cow and horses. Both were chewing on one of those round bails.

Farmer  Perkins is lazy and has yet to put them in the barn. You see the cow headed for the barn and fresh hay.
