The next game in an American War of Independence campaign will need a barn, a piece of terrain I'm yet to add to my 28mm collection (plenty in the 20mm collection, but a bit small). Rather than work from an existing MDF model as I have with my other buildings I decided this was straightforward enough that I should try to scratch build one instead. I know, a bit old school in this day and age, what with laser cut MDF and 3D printing, nonetheless for those interested I've put together a step-by-step tutorial on how I did it that you can find here Scratchbuilding a 28mm Wooden Barn The shape is made from foam core: The wooden planks were made from coffee stirrers (bought from a craft store…..I've got better things to do than grab handfuls from the nearest Starbucks): Here's the finished result:

Those door hinges are great. Nice touch to be able to open the doors.

Great building! I have only seen brightly colored coffee stirrers, and will have to look for the unpainted variety. Grelber
