European barn diorama

[Former1]

Starting a barn diorama. This is a plaster kit and will be a complete structure. I have run into a problem already. One wall is 1/2 inch shorter than the rest. This diorama will include a tractor, cart, farm tools and a well. Most likely I will have some German soldiers resting in the area but that might change. I have contacted the company and requested a new wall.

Correct wall is on its way…started on landscape layout. There will be a narrow road. Along the barn side of the road will be a rail style fence.

Sorry for the glare but it’s from the stainless table top. The fence will not be that high as the posts will be inserted into the foam. I need to go to the home improvement store to pick up another piece of foam which will be the base.

Didn’t like the interior so I changed it. I also made a ladder to gain access to the loft from the outside.

Change again…added loft ladders inside and out.

So after further deliberation I decided the posts and joists were too big. I tore it all apart and started rebuild.

Question…should I leave one wall off to show the interior? It doesn’t make sense to me to detail the interior and then close it up. The other way would be to have a removable wall.
