The start of a new project designed to get me back on track for 2016.... A fantasy barn inspired by the now-classic Phil Lewis terrain articles.

That exact same thing had been on my to-do list for years! I'll be reading your blog with much interest.

Barn looks great! Nice work; my scenery items always seem to take a back seat to the minis in terms of getting done.

Thanks, Jeff. I have actually found scenery to be sort of relaxing. If I can put up with being mocked relentlessly, I can construct it whilst watching TV with my wife and once it's constructed it's pretty easy to paint (just drybrushing and washes) so I'm finding it enjoyable doing something I've always put off too.

... If I can put up with being mocked relentlessly...

To overcome this, as I was scratchbuilding a mausoleum (!), I stupidly said to my wife that I was simply honing my skills to make some lovely dolls house furniture for my daughters and a miniature farm for my son...

In hindsight I'm not quite as excited about this prospect now.

Oh dear!!! Though now that you mention it my wife did vaguely suggest a few weeks back that I build a dolls' house....
