First off instead of typing all the names I want to thank all the great folks who have helped me along with this. I have a bit more weathering to do on the house and alot more to do on the base in general. Hope Im not boring anyone with the frequent updates, but Im new to dios ( this is my 3rd) and need all the sugestions I can get. Suggest away!

You work fast!! The farm house looks a lot better and the grass and mud in front of the house is a nice touch. Might I suggest that you carry some of the mud into the garage. I think two strips about the width of a vehicles tires. Not all the way in but just over the threshold. I can't wait to see this one finished. You are doing a fantastic job

Thanks Animal, I still have the garage doors and front door to put on the house. The garage doors will block anyone from seeing in there.. Again thanks for your help.

As Animal said John you work fast. This is looking very very good. One suggestion I would make is to weather the heck out of that farm fence so it matches the weathered look on the farm house. More of a grey look with perhaps a bit of moss?
Other then that good work mate

I love the design. The building is coming along great. I know your not up to the weathering stage yet and that will pull it all together nicely. Right now, there is alot os stark contrasts between all your elements. Your wash, drybrushing, and pastels will make it more unified. Excellent job!

Here's a thought.
Drill lightly into the approximate center of the bricked ares,to represent the bullet that caused the adobe or whatever to chip away....

Nice, nice, nice the bricks are good, the stucko is great, the roof is good, the wall is getting there, the fence is improved.
Continue on... I would recommend dry brushing the fence to bring out some highlights. I would also add some burnt umber washes to the grassy area around the rocks on the wall. I'd add some short grass, shrubs to the wall to the left of the door.

Thanks all..Since this has been posted a few considerations have been taken into account. The fence has been weathered as well as the roof and shutters. Thankyou all!!! More to come!

You certainly aren't boring me. I'm trying to psyc myself up to start my first diorama and am enjoying seeing your progress. Also, I love trucks, so your Clubmobile is of interest.
You are doing a great job and I'm getting ideas from your pictures. Keep the updates comming.

I did a destroyed barn several years ago. I found these accessories from Historex to be a good additon to the scene. Everyday tools would add so much to your great construction job.
