Mark, Cheers,

You are making some great progress. I really like the wall colors, the brick insert contrast as well as the green windows. They seem to please my eye as very natural looking for old brick buildings.

Fantastic, step by step, I'm enjoying the journey.

Thank you for your kind words, Tom.

I went through the paint swatches for the Belton range of spray paints, writing down the #'s and names of anything I though I might use on buildings.  I listed over 80 different colours!  That would be over $1,000, so I wont be buying all those!  But it is nice to know there are so many options available.  Greens, browns and off whites seem to work well for window and door colours to my eye, and contrast nicely with the brick colours.  I was pleased with how easily and well my quick method of 'stabbing' on the weathered wood colour and dry brushing with a lighter shade of green was.  I think the windows look much better weathered.

I'm pleased you are enjoying my step-by-step.  I like to let pictures tell the story for the most part and just fill in a few details and explanations.

Cheers, Mark.

Mark,

Your plan of attack with choosing paint colors makes perfect sense to me.
I try to picture what a particular color would look like next to another one
and what that building would look like in the overall area, and change them up
accordingly. I wouldn't want one to stand out over any of the others. Sort of
a blend-in flow. I like your way of doing things.

I just caught up with this build Mark.

It looks like you have been very productive with some massive structures and your progress is amazing. Excellent work, as usual.....

Mark, the brick work is great.  I just read through the whole thread, I'll be sure to check back.  Great progress so far, and what a challenge this will be.  Like most of us, I've been centered on my own projects, and it's below zero here, a good time to model. Keep up the good work.
