Earlier in May I bought a
Sarissa Russian Outbuilding (N069) second hand. It looked like someone had attempted to fold it in half at some point. Careful examination of the sealed package seemed to show that the only breakage was in the supporting sheet and not the components.
Door and window frame detail.
You can see the breaks by the right top of the base and the lower peak of the end.
It was easy to assemble (as are most Sarissa kits).
I decided to use static grass to form a straw floor.
The building was sprayed first with Halfords Grey primer. The interior was then sprayed with Halfords Black Primer.
The question was then what colour to paint the outbuilding.
This is a photograph of a buildings museum in Russia (the main point of interest was the fencing) but it shows the darker, almost reddish colour of the wood.
The building was painted with Army Painter Oak Brown (which is surprisingly darker than it appears in the bottle).
It was then dry brushed with Vallejo Old Wood, followed by a wash of Army painter Dark Tone and Citadel Nuln Oil.
Interior showing the old straw (Vallejo Burnt Umber).
