Right, the time has come to make a start on painting my laser cut model of Aviemore Shed that was produced by Brian at Smart Models. I have been concentrating on track laying recently but it is time to get the shed looking more like its namesake. Now I have seen a number of techniques to paint the stone work but I thought I would stick a post up to see if anyone else has thoughts or guidance to a newby like myself. I have not painted any models before and given the size of this shed, it is a little daunting.
As you can see the stone work on the front of the shed is considerably darker than the sides as you would expect due to steam and dirt from the locos getting disposed of over the pits.
I have attached a number of images that show both the shed in its real life guise and some images of my model. I am trying to keep costs down but I also want to make the best of the model so any advise on paints to use, techniques and brush or rollers would be hugely welcome???
Thanks in advance.
