A versatile barn & workshop building suitable for farm, railway or industrial use. The design is typical of many buildings of this type that can still be seen all over the British Isles, with stone walls & slate roof, with the weathered corrugated iron used for the roofs on the workshop & lean-to.
The walls are finished in our popular old stone texture, enabling it to fit in with any location or railway region
The kit is supplied with laser-cut parts for ease of assembly and comes with fully weathered paper wraps and roof slates, with no additional painting or weathering required for a "Realistically Better" finish straight from the pack.
The windows & doors are supplied laser-cut from our eco-friendly laserboard and are packed with detail including engraved planks, hinges and locks. The small window is prototypically boarded up and the upper window can also be half-glazed if required.
The building consists of three main "rooms": Barn/Store, Workshop with double width wooden doors, Open Lean-To. And all interior walls feature stone wall detail enabling you to easily detail the interior and pose any of the doors part of fully open.
Doors & window frames require painting before the kit is assembled which can be done with solvent or acrylic based paints. We used a Plastikote Stone color for our test build which we then dry-brushed with burnt umber, white & slate grey artists acrylics to create a weathered wood look.
There's also plenty of scope for customisation too... with the slates being applied in individual strips it's easy to build it in either pristine or derelict condition (or anywhere in between), plus the optional steps at the end of the building can be omitted to give the appearance of them being demolished at some point, or to allow passing carts, lorries or wagons to be loaded via the side door.
