Although it is been quite silent from my side, I’m still modeling.

After I had finished Rose Cottage I build Apple Tree Cottage. Apple Tree Cottage is the premises of the Hinchliffe sisters.

They do some small village farming: a small apple orchard and some pigs.

In the picture some pig food will be delivered using a Austin A70 pick up. The car is a John Day Model.

According to my research the sisters Hinchliffe had a small car. From my collection of cars I choice the Morris Minor MM. The sisters bought this car in 1949 by Henderson’s Garage in Milchester, Middleshire.

Model cars are out of the box to shiny and clean. I gave the Morris a coat of Vallejo Satin Varnish and some weathering.

The garage/shed for Apple Tree cottage is finished. I used a garage from 3DK models to create the garage for Apple Tree Cottage. Instead of a brick wall I used a wood texture from Model Railway Scenery. The garage door is from the 3DK garage kit. The asbestos roof is a texture from Model Railway Scenery.

I added some white metal details from several suppliers whish I painted using paint from Vallejo, Citadel paints and AK. Green is from Busch, Woodland Scenic and MiniNatur.

I finished the shed scene by adding Cutie, the Irish Setter, and miss Mary Hinchliffe to it.

There is a little story behind the scene but that I have to save for a later moment. Another scene has to been built for it.

This little diorama is not yet finished completely. I still have to do the right side.

Thanks for reading and keep safe.

I also wish every one a Happy Christmass and a healthy and good 2021.

Greeting,

Job
