Following on from an earlier post, today (and a good part of yesterday) was spent building up layers of weathering on my recently "bashed" station kit.

Once painted with primer, I added two coats of yellow and picked out random bricks in varying quantities in black, white, brick red and blue-grey.  I painted the interior "arches" plain white too.

Having discovered that my usual "Brown Earth" paint had dried up in the pot, I ordered some more online - although not the same brand, rather an independent supplier of "identical" shades.  I use the Brown Earth as a wash to tone down the yellow shade of the first coat to a point that it  resembles authentic yellow brickwork.  For whatever reason, this process took a lot longer and a lot more washes than in the past - possibly down to it not being the brand I have been used to.  Also the shade is a good deal more "sandy" in shade, but that's not a bad thing.  Coverage was irregular too, and in places I resorted to dry-brushing the spots where the wash simply wouldn't apply. The roof sections were a lot more straightforward, primed grey with odd slates picked out in black and white - followed by several washes of black.

I'm pleased with the end result though, outstanding jobs are: permanently afix roof (and then add peaked section to front) detailing - including gutters, drainpipes etc and glazing.

Thanks for looking in.
