A little change of pace!
 A fighter pilot and his wheels! I probably have mentioned this before but any diorama even under construction can make a great backdrop for any subject matter.This can be very creative and fun to do.With proper placement you can also mix scales(forced perspective)In this case I have mixed a 1/18th classic car with 1/16th pilot figures.

Advertising the air races from under the carports roof behind the air show car.I have put different things such as this for the kids to find.There also will be four animals to discover of which the horse Comanche will be the easiest and the cat Chester the hardest.In addition to Harley the dog there will be Hooters the barn owl in the roof rafters.

Making Barnsiding or antique flooring.
These are the steps that I follow when making old barn siding or weathered flooring.
-starting with a doctors tongue depressor which I believe is birchwood,I cut the ends off square. -now taking the raw wood, paint on two thin coat of acrylic nimbus grey mixed with a bit of raw umber,letting the grain of the underlying wood show through.If the wood warps too much you can use some weights . -taking a large needle poke holes in the board in a pattern you require. -take a HB pencil and twist a little graphite into each hole. -fill each holes with a small drop of very watery raw umber to swell the wood back level again. -take an old toothbrush and flick on some of the watery raw umber. -put a small drop of watery burnt sienna for the rusty nail look.Drag a little of the burnt sienna down the board ,here and there for effect. -the second picture shows how pastels can be used to soften down the whole thing.
