Livestock Shelter

[DagobahDave]

I got the idea to create one of these during a road trip in 2009 or something, and it's been tumbling around in my head since then.

This livestock shelter has lots of configuration options, and will include troughs and hay bales as accessories.

My test model is done (using double-sided scrapbooking tape to try out the various wall options) and it's ready to be textured. I may work on some other stuff first, but this kit will probably be available next weekend.

Another awesome addition to your line-up!

Those look real good. There seems to be a lack of structures like that in the paper model world. Nice way to fill a niche.

Back to work on the Livestock Shelter. The walls and the underside of the roof still need a wood planking and some nails, and then everything will have at least one texture. From there, I can start playing around with the colors, create some additional layers (mostly different colors for the wood, also gate options), and then final shading and highlighting. Not that much to do, really!

There are a ton of configuration options for this thing, and there are troughs and hay bales for accessories. Aiming to release this set on Thursday unless something else drags my attention away from it (again).

Here's an image of my workspace (it's a pagebreaker, hence the link):

Almost done with this set. I just need to add some gates and then I can start putting the layered PDFs together.

Very Nice.
Just add a Jesus, Mary and Joseph and you'd have a very nice Christmas Creche

Somebody at Cardboard Warriors made the same joke. It's still funny.

I don't think it's a joke ...

Can you blame me if I get the giggles thinking about 28mm scale paper minis of the nativity scene?

There are an awful lot of folks spending big bucks on vintage creche cutouts...
