Sand Dryer test colouring

I managed a bit of time today to carry out the test colouring of the end wall of the sand furnace. For a colour guide I chose to use some of my own colour slides from October 1965. These were taken using Agfa film which was always a little on the blue side so I have corrected this using Photoshop.

I have used an assortment of Berol Karisma crayons of various brick shades, some for the engineering brick and others for the more common 'red'. Having fixed the corbels I realised the crayon method would not work on them because the spacing is too small. Here I resorted to mixing some Bager Opaque paint of grey and black persuasion and applied it using a fine brush.

The result is pleasing.

I am impressed with the results, I have to say it is stunning work it almost looks real! blink.gif

 

even the mortar courses look totally convincing.

Outstanding, if perhaps a little CLEAN for the period of the slide?

 

Can we see more of the slides? Barrow Road has always fascinated me.

Hi, Alcazar,

 

The whole shed building will be weathered when it is all built and painted to give consistent finish.

 

Cheers,
