Paul_C Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Can anyone suggest a good way of getting the right texture/colour for a good concrete effect please. I have some Plastikote Suedetouch as suggested by some but would like to get it a bit nearer to the real thing if possible. The bridge that I'm modelling is proving a tricky proposition colour wise.

Campaman Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 The method i use is first coat, grey primer, then spray from a distance so the droplets are big, white, red and yellow. give it a try on scrap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeatonLodge40 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 (edited) For weathered concrete Precision Paints do the best shade I’ve ever used. To get the rough effect sprinkle on talc when the paint is still wet. For different shades of concrete do three mixes of the PP weathered concrete, 1 original, 1 with a few drops of pale yellow enamel and another with a bit more pale yellow. To finish I dip a toothbrush in yellow paint and flick spots of the paint over the concrete once dry to represent moss Edited October 18, 2020 by HeatonLodge40 5 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul_C Posted October 18, 2020 Author Share Posted October 18, 2020 Thanks Andy and Heaton Lodge, I will give both methods a try. Paul C. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
