From DaveD - Bootleggers Barn (44 points)

 A little extra left field entry this week. Myself , MartinC and JamesM will be at the Hammerhead show this coming weekend. As all the games are participation we wanted something nice and quick to run , so we decided on a little bootleggers scenario. 

The gang has a hidden still and storage place in the back woods - the G men will raid it . It will be quick and brutal I am sure . Martin recently completed a still for this . So I have built the barn this week from balsa, coffee stirrers and cardboard it’s on a 2mm MDF a4 base board .



Damn that’s the infamous Ray “the Badger” in his trademark yellow run away trousers - he must be out of Sing Sing - it’s so long since this  collection had some love . 


The still will be installed by Martin into the barn . 
 

I used the airbrush to paint and weather up the wood - followed by a bit of dry brushing .

Size wise it’s 12x8x5 so equals 2.22 cubes . = 44 points .

The other building was built back in 2014 as part of the challenge then . So the gangsters will need their eyes sharp - wakey wakey Ray . The G men are ready to pounce. 



I hear that fink Ray wears those yellow pants 'cos he sang like a canary when he was in Sing Sing. Sold out the whole budgie smuggling ring.

That's a great looking barn, Dave!
