I really like these - but please tell me, did it start out life as a grey one, which has had a lot of rust added, or a bauxite one, which has had some cement grey added?

As Adam said they are bauxite with the grey added, I was quite surprised when I researched for photos to work from, the Bauxite ones on Paul Bartletts site were remarkable clean so I didn't go too mad. My previous airfix ones are APCM grey and all the pics of those were very dirty.

Although I would love to take the credit for these buildings, sadly I cannot.

These are heavily modified Kestrel kits, and are the work of one of our club members. The attention to deal is quite exquisite, and all the more impressive bearing in mind his main area of interest is H0... Unfortunately, the pink background ain't too good... I really need to do something to show these off better...

Had Mike Wild from Hornby mag taking some pictures today for a future article, took a few myself as well.

I rather like this one in particular, unedited, I did think about cropping the road way a bit but then decided to leave it to give a better impression of depth.
