If you didn't say that it's a barn, I wouldn't know what it's supposed to be.
The main problem with that seems to be the roof. Try using plates instead of bricks.
Halfway down the roof, the slope should be steeper. You know what I mean?

Ultimately, it depends on what he uses with the pieces he has .

Nice barn Eddie, simple, but artistic. Good work.

Thanks!

Yeah, minifig, I really don't have that many white slant or plate pieces and it's really not worth buying them for this kind of film.

I've got an idea. Take some plates of any color and cover it with your white bricks. Fit that into the barn and use the few white plates you have to hang over the edges.

Not literally dead, just no longer interested in Lego or animation.

The roof may need a little work, but I would definitely suggest changing the door - where's the brown wood?

A barn doens´t just need to be brown? Most of them a red and white with black/brown roof.

A barn is simply a large building used for storage; they can be any color you like. Most people don't paint them (paint is so expensive), and instead simply varnish the wood, leading to the brown color you might see. In fact, there's at least eleven barns in my town, and only one of them is red.

EDIT: Also, barns don't typically have any windows on the first floor.

Ok, now that I see the responses I think I should change the roof to black and change the doors and windows. Ok, I got a lot of work to do. Here's a tractor.

BTW, I don't have any scale wheels for the front.

Oh, and mcoov, the barn stays red.

There is a LOT of barns as you call them where I live. ALL of them are red with white. And black roof.

That's fine. I was just correcting the misconception that all barns are red with white trim.
@FuryBrosStudios: They must be able to afford the paint.

I think the red works very well for it. As it just screams in your face THIS IS A BARN YO, which is good for making a farmy setting for your audience.

Most I've seen are Green and Made of Metal. Different places tend to have their own aesthetics.

Yay! xD I'm in a sig again.

Anyway, I like the tractor, but I feel it the front wheels should be on the back, and you should have small wheels in the front, that's usually the way they are. Just make sure to lower the points where the wheels attach so it won't lean forward.

Yes, you're right there, I probably see as many barns with white doors as I do with brown. I don't think both the roof and the doors should be white, though, it's a little overwhelming.
