Cleaned up every squares. It took a lot of masking tape. I painted the roof with Dull alu. A lot more to do on this. I will also paint on top on the vent dull alu as well. Here's how it looks so far. I am gonna let this sit for a few days before I do the next steps to make all dry.

Sadly you might be right about someone rushing to get this painted and possibly being sloppy however, I can't find any photos of the red and white Checkered building being weathered or showing a poor paint job. Spent few hours cleaning the white squares today and red squares are next.

Well, that did not go as planned. Masking the red squares took a while since I had to cut every square to size. The red paint bled all over the white, I think I used an old wide tape roll so it did not stick well. This looks real bad to me so I will try to clean it up. I will have to mask every white squares and respray white. I think making individual squares was a mistake, I believe the door frame and the AC exhaust should have been added after the red and white square job in order to run a clean tape pattern.

Started on the building. i used Tamiya light Grey primer first then some shading in flat black and red brown, sanded smooth before the flat white coat. 2 thin coats of Flat white then applied Vallejo Grey white and sanded that coat smooth. I will let this dry for several days before applying the flat red squares. I did not want to push the shading too much at this stage. I did finish building the gates, I had to make level so extented the poles at the bottom. I will add some signage on the gates and the building as well.

Fence is up.

Started on the chain link fence around the red and white field building. Only a small portion of the building will be seen behind the fence in the corner. This is happens when I start looking at top model shows like the one in Bron...so many talented modelers beside the wood base won't be here for another week so I am stuck messing around building stuff.

Made an airbase sign, I used Dave's Decals to create the sign. i may add chain link fence...still debating on it. I am waiting for the wood base to arrive and I am stuck till it arrives. I got a 3d printed toolbox with the figures so I painted that too.

Hahaha.

Sure looks yellow from here but I believe it's orange.

You know I give up...I can't compete with your modeling talent. This is just incredible to see.

This is looking sharp for sure. You need to do a wash on the seats. nice work my friend.

Spectacular IP. This is starting in the right direction.

Here are the final pieces for the dio.

Got the figures today. Here's how it looks so far.

Tool box is done. Started back on the ground work.
