What color/technique did you use on the roof cyclone.  Very convincing metal finish.

Darryl -- thank you kindly!

For the cyclone, it was painted with a simple metallic paint that was later covered with a black wash (Vallejo or Citadel, typically). If I'm using Acrylics, I tend to avoid using my alcohol & ink mix as it can really disturb the paint, given Acrylics are generally water-based.

For the rust, three craft paints were sponged on, concentrating to the edges of the cyclone and bends in pipes. First, a yellow ochre in very small amounts. Followed by a pumpkin orange, also in small amounts. Finally, a dark brown in larger amounts to ties everything together (simulating a deeper rust).

It's a very simple but very effective technique.

For thread posterity, find both the URL link to my "Izzy Fish Co" build thread:

And a repost of the finished build photos:

Please note: the blank windows are to be covered by Saulenas' Tavern and, therefore, intentionally left unfinished.























Up next will be the "Fine Scale Miniatures" building, which was a modified kit from Crow River/Hobby Gallery called the "Union Dredging Building". In this tribute, it is no longer the FSM building and something new — I already have the sign made up.

More soon.
