Hello , this is one of the project that I´m involved now. is a master for a Bryan Barn. Real subject is situated in Gettysburg I do the model for 54 mm scale figures. I done it in plastic.
cheers

Looks like a really interesting build. It's a master for who? I take it it will be built for the civil war era?

That's the most complex interior I've seen you do. I can't speak to the accuracy - but knowing you it's dead on.

Nice to see you building again.

Looks good as usual
Cheers

As someone who has been to Gettysburg dozens of times (most recently for the anniversary of the battle this year), I can tell you that so far it looks bang on! I can almost see the men of the 111th NY Volunteer Infantry standing beside it. Keep up the good work!

John

If you don't mind my asking, what figures are you planning to use?

John

Like Jowady, I've been to G'burg several times, and the Bryan barn is one of the spots I like to visit, I can also that your model looks spot on.

Well done Carlos, looks good.
Once the plans set this was probably a work for one afternoon to you

Cheers

Matthew,

Pardon me but your name is really familiar to me. Are you by any chance a former/current member of the GDG (Gettysburg Discussion Group)? If so you might recognize me as "That Dynia Guy"

John

Thank you for your comments.
This piece is part of a collection of buildings related with the ACW for Drummerboy, a company that manufactures figure of ACW in 54 mm.
regarding the accuracy, I have had some problems since the drawings that I have used (Historic American Buildings Survey) they don't coincide exactly with the pictures of the current building.The drawings indicate some doors in the west side that they are not here today, some "sanitary facilities" in the south part that neither exist today, also the interior not this totally documented one, they appear in the drawings some interior walls that not appear in the current pictures... and the most curious thing the small annex of the north part and that according to witness still have the signs of the bullets of the day of the battle neither this represented in the planes.In some moment, in the face of the impossibility of knowing exactly like it was, I have supposed that it would be like he can it turns today.
cheers

There is plenty of stuff from you that I prefer than this special piece, but it's soooo well done as usual

wow amzing building puts my scratch building to shame!

When looking at plans of these structures you have to realize that after the battle, and in the intervening twenty or more years before much of this land was acquired by the Federal Government, these were working farms, with various elements subject to alteration. The Bryan Farm was photographed shortly after the battle so we have a good idea of the exterior, but no shots were taken of the interior of the barn. When the government acquired the farm, they discovered that the farm house had been extensively modified, and it had to be rebuilt back to its 1863 appearence.

John

Thanks John! very interesting information

I want show a inside photo of the interior, it´s curious for me that outside you can see a door that seems sealed inside the barn. Also The small anex that not appears in the official drawings but that have bullet holes



thanks for your help

I have a photo of the other side of the Bryan Barn. I believe that what you call the annex is most likely a tool shed. This would have allowed access to various tools that may have been needed without opening the barn itself, but there was most likely no access from the shed to the rest of the barn interior. As such it may not have appeared on the barn plans, it may not have been considered "part of the barn" itself. What puzzles me is the "battle damage". Its in the wrong place to have received much Union or Confederate fire. There is a possibility that the damage may have been inflicted by "overs" from the fighting for Cemetary Hill on the evening of the second, or some strays from the flanking movement of the 8th Ohio on the afternoon of 3 July.

Anyway, the best of luck, I certainly look forward to seeing it finished!

John

Thanks another time!
I include here the link to the web with the photo to the battle damage in the tools sheed.The guy in the web says that hare bullets, but for me these holes are too round. I´m not expert in ballistic results but The impact of a bullet in the wood have as more splinted result
