Thunder on the prairie
My farmhouse is a standard Pola kit, but my barn and garrage are scratchbuilt from Evergreen Scale Models scribed sheet styrene. The stacked bales of hay inside and next to the barn are thin pieces of styrofoam from meat packaging that I cut into shape, painted and earth color, and covered with Woodland Scenics yellow grass Fine Turf. I plan to build a corral out of styrene strips next to the barn to hold horses and cattle. The barn is based on traditional central Texas barns that I have seen over the years. The wheatfield mat is made by Busch. The trees around the farmhouse are from a kit by Woodland Scenics and need some work to re-attach foliage lost during my move. I am NOT a fan of WS Hobby-Tack that came with the kit, and I utterly despise Walthers Goo.
In the distance Extra 244 West, a Santa Fe freight rolls past on the High Plains.
