Building Terrain - Barn


Yesterday, I received my order from Sarissa Precision.

Today I thought I'd tackle the Dark Ages barn which will be an old barn in the corner of a walled farm somewhere in Normandy in 1944.

I must say these are my first MDF kits so I'm excited.


The barn comes with a single sheet of paper which includes the overall picture (above) and an exploded schematic (below).


There were also two small sheets of 2mm MDF with all the pieces.


A quick confession: I really dislike the initial smell but it goes away.

The barn pieces punched out fairly simply. I was worried about the front supports/beams but all in all, the barn went together very quickly.


Front angle - the exterior has detailing but alas, the interior is rather plain..


Rear angle - I really like the barred windows at the back. A bit fiddly getting the pieces out. When assembling these kits, a knife is a must.


The roof and walls are separate. I'll probably put a large hay bale or something on one side that a sniper can hide behind.


All built! Still a long way from being "done". 

Need to detail the roof, build a hay bale, and paint this sucker. 

This kit went together really fast and easy. It took less than 10 minutes to put together.


With Warlord American Airborne Pathfinder for scale.
