Authentic reproductions of classic American structures in remarkable detail.
I love barns. The ones you will find on these pages are painstakingly made by hand to reflect the true heart and soul of these lovely old structures. The wooden siding is made from the exterior veneer of old barn boards rescued from abandoned structures that are about to be destroyed. I do not remove material from structurally sound buildings. The barns are made very close to scale and accurate in every detail. The roof is made from real cedar shingles. The windowpanes are of sheet mica. Most of my barns have a lightning rod system made of copper. The door hinges are made from either rusted steel or pewter. The models I build are of barns I've come across in my travels throughout New England and across America. Normally the barns are made from 1/4" plywood then covered with veneer barn wood and wooden shingles. The Vermont red barn on this page is made in the post and beam manner. It's really quite stunning in its detail from the hay in the loft to the bird droppings on the roof. You will never see another one like it. I make very few of the post and beam models because of the time involved. -- Andrew Robinson
