Rite of Passage
Danny's Barn from Kingmill
Johnny swore that the cigars were smooth and mild, just what you needed to be a man. Jimbob took to them like a fish to water. Jackson, not so much. Of course this pleased Fido, but he's always up for another meal, even a second-hand meal. $250.00 US free shipping and handling in the continental United States. I will apply $6 credit towards shipping elsewhere.

I started with a Kingmill "Danny's Barn" Kit. I added lots of weathering to the siding, the roofing, and the window castings. Then I added many of my own details including the following:
- rusted roofing made from wine bottle foil
- Silkspan tarpaper underlayment
- rusted corrugated metal patches
- an enamel Five-O sign
- a tarp-covered pile of junk
- a barn cat prowling on the beams inside
- a hand made ladder to the loft
- cans on a shelf visible through the window to the tack room
- lots of Silflor weeds
- hand made ladder/stair into the barn
- hand-repainted Woodland Scenics horse grazing
- a hand-painted Prieser hound dog
- three customized and hand-painted Woodland Scenics figures complete with cigars
- the cigars have ash on the ends
- realistic vomit -- the wages of sin
- a hand-made tree from DC RAIL & HOBBY DEPOT
HOBarn Special Diorama The model sits on a 6" by 6" fully sceniced 1/8" Gatorboard base. At the tallest point, the tree top, the diorama stands about 6" tall from the bottom of the base. I used Woodland Scenics and Silfor products, basswood, styrene, Bristol Board, local rocks and dried plants to create this one of a kind diorama. I hope that it will find a place on your layout or display shelf.
WARNING! This is a scale model and is not suitable for children. Small parts and white metal castings.
I will include a materials list and a brief how-to should you wish to match the scenery materials that I used to make this diorama.
Shipping- The model will be double-boxed and shipped via Priority Mail or Express mail. Though it is unlikely, some small parts may come loose during shipping and can be easily reattached with super glue. So far, customers have been pleased with both my work and my packaging. If you are not satisfied with my work, simply return the model to me and I will return your money. I want you to be a happy customer.
I will happily ship outside of the United States. Please contact me and we can work out shipping details if you are interested.
