Still need to weather the barn. I did paint the 'crops' finally to get rid of that 'neon green color' they were when I first put it down

Here's a view of the farm scene on my old layout -

Great effect, and a really nice set of scenes Christopher. I really like the colors - vibrant without being over-the-top, and still makes for realistic photography. Nicely done!

Update -
For a while now, this scene was really bothering me - I liked the way it looked in my head, but the building & 'crops' looked way to fake. I had some time this weekend, so I pulled it off the board & gave it a nice painting. The windows were brushed white, the roof was sprayed w/ a textured spray paint to simulate roofing shingles. The doors were brush painted gray w/ white. The main building was sprayed in red primer & then over sprayed w/ flat black in spots. I also sprayed one of the silos white. For the 'crops', I sprayed it w/ a mix of tan & flat green. I'm working on the interior now. I printed a shot of a horse stable that is sized to the barn and also picked up some wood sticks to make a floor.

Here are some shots -
