Few bits added to the roadwork scene (well pending roadworks), lamps and tools from Mudmagnet Models and a modified Dinky trailer.

Very nice Brian.

Thanks Steve just need to paint some of the tool handles natural wood.

Good luck with that!

That’s why I painted them black. I have a shovel and fork with steel handles and they are black. Perhaps I’ll just do the pick axe.

For 'silver grey' wood give it a coat of white primer then a wash of diluted black. Additional wash coats will make it darker.
For brown wood, go with the white primer again but then quickly dip it in Colron wood dye but you do have to be quick or any plastic will melt. Leave to dry on a paper towel.

Thanks Steve very useful.

Looks very good - a couple of your cows are expecting rain (there lying down).

It is raining, the cows are never wrong.

A few night shots.
