Old barn light


otterine

I used a Meyers Wall Light from HBS for the front of the barn.  I used pliers to bend it outward a bit, which removed some of the paint.  That's fine for an old light, and I brushed on flat black paint to remove the gloss shine.  Once that was dry, I dry brushed on dark brown to make the finish appear corroded and dirty.  Just a few modifications and it looks like an old barn light that's been there a long time.

Since the door frame sticks out, I added a square of scrap wood to serve as a base for the light.  On the inside, I connected the lamp wire to the 12V wire I fed during the interior overhead light installation.

I didn't bother adding knob and tube wiring for this lamp since it would have been hard to see and just make a mess of the work I did previously.

As with all of your work, this is so real looking that I would never have guessed that it was a miniature if I saw it pictured somewhere else!
