I had tons of fun tonight painting the Perry Miniatures barn to look unpainted. And I'm really pleased with the way it has turned out. Quite sharp, as one might say …

Here's my simple recipe for painting – er, un-painting – something to look like it hasn't seen a lick of paint for some years:

Ah yes too poor to paint to proud to whitewash. I know the style well.

Good job! I've been wondering how to achieve this effect, and will have to try your method. I've no idea how often folks let their buildings get into this shape back in the day, though I've certainly seen a lot of them in my lifetime, as people move from the farm to the big city.

Very nice. A simple but very effective technique. Great job!

Very nice. It made by Renedra though, not the Perrys.

Oops! Correction made to the blog, though of course can't change the title of this TMP thread.

Thanks for the nice comments, guys.

That's not a barn its a lawn tool shed or a chicken coop. :) Very nice paint work thanks for showing it

Looks great and simple, it's something I could adapt for Russian wooden buildings, thanks!
