Opinions and feedback are invaluable. Normally the stuff I'm most pleased with has been as a result of a gentle nudge or comment from someone and this is no exception. The photo did wash things out a bit, but going back scaling up the effect definitely worked.  Thank you!

Those hand carts are superb.

The barriers look a little odd to me, I think because the feet look lighter (this might be just the pic). I wold expect the feet, legs and bottom of the barriers to be the darkest parts.

I think the barriers look great but too clean perhaps? the plastic is sun bleached but also it doesn't look like it's used whereas all your other scenery has this amazing 'lived in' look which these don't quite seem to have yet.

Maybe tie the feet and the lower barrier together with some dust, grime and general gunk - I can't see a post apoc cleaning crew giving them too much love lol and those light areas just cry out for some tiny graffiti.

All that being said it feels wrong to criticise this you are producing way better stuff than I do and I love it.

Yep, you are all on to something here. Barriers still aren't quite right. More dirt. I've got a load of these so keen to find a good technique. Really grateful for the feedback.

Put the barriers on their own (small?) bases, then you can add clutter
around the 'feet'. Things like:- old newspapers, discarded tins, tumbling weed, ammo casings etc.

This has taken way too long but glad it's now done. Travelers' rest with removable roof and front. It will eventually tuck in alongside Osprey Farm and have a load of the farm stuff on the roof, but for now I'm showing it solo. The idea with most of my stuff is that it is configurable for different scenarios, so i can use this completely empty as an abandoned military building. I've learnt quite a bit doing this, and there are some bits I'll do differently next time round, particularly on the exterior, and I've had lots of great feedback and advice, so thank you very much for the interest.

Now, that is one spectacular piece of work.

Bravo.

Mac - where did you get the open suitcase, and did you scratch the windmill together?

Once again my mind is totally boggled.

Your stuff is spectacular; I keep thinking to try and emulate your style but:

1. I couldn't do such a good job.

2. Anything that even approached the look of your kit would make all my other stuff look awful and I would need to start everything from scratch.

Please forgive me sticking my oar in but probably from this set:
