    The stonework on the foundation is quite nice too

    great texture with all those tiles not pressed all the way down

    You’ve zeroed in on the main reason I wanted to build a barn, having a surplus of 1×8 red tiles. Of course, I found that most real barns are DARK red. People aren’t positive why this became the standard color, but the farmer’s almanac website suggested that originally the pigment came from iron oxides (rust) and served as a deterrent to rotting the wood. Gradually it became less about practicality and more about tradition.

    Thanks, that part took a while, I still have more to learn about making stone walls. 🙂

    The current stone aesthetic among Castle builders is to use lots of snot to give depth to the walls. 1×1 plates, 1×1 rounds, and 1×1 tiles all work well to create depth.

    I also really like your barn. The stonework and the offset tiles give it a very real feel. Dark red would look awesome.

    Castle builders … use lots of snot to give depth to the walls.

    Good point, that is one approach I did not consider this time.

    up from the grave, this thread arose!

    I somehow never knew this thread existed, so…

    That barn is really great. Love the winter theme… Nice job Greg.

    For the North Pole school …

    I made four classrooms: a present wrapping class, a baking class, a woodshop class and a sewing class.

    Anyway, here is a photo of the school front using the old camera in very low light.

    Guess it is time to take another pic (preferably smaller) 🙂

    I am using a different camera than usual and apparently the original photos on the new camera are 8M and the site accepts something like 300k.

    What I’ve decided to do is to upload the photos to Flickr and then post a link: https://www.flickr.com/photos/41724262@N07/?

    Dude! Did you make all of those on the Flickr page? Unbelievable.

    A bunch of those photos were from Brickfair in Virginia a few years ago, but most were not my creations, just photos that I took.

    The winter stuff is absolutely amazing. Maybe I will have to try and make it to Brickfair too this year!

    Very nice! I’ve always wanted to build a Jeep or a Defender. Some day I’ll acquire some more technic and try it out.

    For now we build cars in the Speed Champion format or others. Our latest was a 2008 Mustang GTCS like one I used to own. Sigh….I miss her!

    Hi Folks,

    This was actually created a few months prior to the recent tragedy.

    Did yours catch on fire too?

    It did not, but I cleverly made it completely from fire-resistant materials (or maybe that was just a coincidence). We’ll see what happens if I ever have to renovate it.

    I took these photos the day after it happened. 🙁

    OMG! You were in Paris at the time? My wife and I were there 5 years ago, and I feel lucky that we had a chance to see it.

    I am just getting into building my own MOC’s and this is my tiny little neighborhood that I built. I am horrible with roofs. I bought two books to learn more. Any tips are welcome!

    I really like the balcony on the blue building. I also really like the multi brown log profile roof-from the camera angle I can’t tell, is it a garage or shed?
