A stone building and floor with a open wooden door in the center. A table with a small tapped barrel with a glass or tin cup for tasting next to it. The large barrel on the floor opposite the table. It’s a start but something feels off about it, thoughts on the layout?
In the mean time, one has to finish the bits before the layout is a problem.
I have built the two barrels and added wood grain not present on the plastic. I think Miniart could moved the molded half lines to the top and bottom instead of the sides. Have the strap detail on top along the half and added wood grain oh well.
I wouldn’t mind trying the Vermouth cartoon but I don’t think any one makes a cask/large barrel. Maybe Miniart will one day as it’s in the box art work. I think I tried to make a barrel once and it didn’t go so well. Clean circle cutting is pain at least for me. I don’t think the circle cutter I have goes that large for the center sections.
It is a great looking tree. That would be awesome, thanks. I don’t know the diameter but if an average male was 5’8” in WW2, my guess is around 5’ or just under guesstimating from the image.
Something along these lines , maybe a tad shorter/smaller .
Also they were made in oval shapes .
I’ll just make some round and oval and show them to you here and you can have what you want .
It’s not like I can’t use them meself .
Just playing around some more with the concept. It always seemed impractical to me to have the barrel tapped on the floor as shown in the box art. So I decided to make a table one could rest a tapped barrel on for use and a tin cup for drinking enjoyment.
Don’t know if it will get used or not but I had fun. If I was smart, I would have roughed up the plastic before hand but I was caught up in thrill of building to stop.
