Half way there

Making grates out of styrene

This will take some time

Laid sidewalk

Going to add three lamps to bridge

Laying out sidewalk pattern

Finished this side…now to the other side. I will take a better picture tomorrow when it’s not so dark.

So I primed the plaster casting white. Using acrylic dark/light brown stone colors, I sprayed the dark color first. I use a hair dryer to speed the drying time. I don’t like waiting 😂. Then I use the other colors like a wash. I usually use three different like colors. It leaves a marble like finish. Put a little paint on a flat brush and dip it in water. Then let the watery paint mixture flow over the object. Once it dries add more if needed and then move on to the next color. I will be adding some Woodland Scenics water to the fountain once it arrives.

Here’s the finished product

Painting stone fountain

Laying out sidewalk. Will paint base black tomorrow and start painting bridge.

But my wallet doesn’t 😂😂😂

Finished model just waiting on stencils to arrive.

Still adding a few parts to the truck and touch up left front tire.

There are some great model painters and I am not one of them but thanks for the compliment😁. After I sprayed the base coat I use a lighter shade of gray and water it down. Then I apply the wash over everything. It leaves an oxidized look. Something like this.
