sb67 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 I'm going to build a metcalfe models warehouse and wondered if there was an easy way to colour the window frames as I dont want them bright white? I might try a wash of paint but dont want to colour the actual window too much, I'm sure I see a post on here where somebody has done it but cant remember where.

katwigan Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Hi, I have used a product here in Oz called "Distress Ink", massive range of colours in the form of ink pads, applied by sponge pad for larger areas. I stole the first one to try from my wife's collection, normally available from papercraft shops, I am sure they would be available in the UK (It is probably where they come from) Not near my layout at the moment so can't show you where I have used it, but certainly worth checking out.

sb67 Posted May 3, 2019 Author Share Posted May 3, 2019 (edited) Thanks guys, I've got some watercolour pencils and I'll have a look for that ink. I did try an acrylic wash of paint but it didn't really work. Steve. Edited May 3, 2019 by sb67 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chubber Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 I have had considerable success using Derwent water colour pencils DRY at a shallow angle. They adhere quite well to the white print surface , any over colour on the panes can be wiped off with a damp cotton bud. Somewhere on here is a Metcalfe pub I kitbashed ten years ago!
