Monster Modelworks' Bonded Warehouse Background Flat

[Zephyrus52246]

Thanks for the build/review, Dave.  I have one of his kits here somewhere, I should give it a try.  The "companion building" you show, I actually have a spot picked out on the layout where it would "fit".

Really enjoyed this thread Dave.  Very informative and great work on some interesting structures/kits.

Thanks, guys. The kit design is superb...very little if any trimming/sanding/finessing necessary.  Which one do you have in waiting, Jeff?

Dave,

Great build and fantastic work on the structures. I've been lurking on the Monster site trying to figure out how to fit in some of the models. Great thread on MMW kits.

Thanks for looking in, Tom. They are great kits. I think I'll continue posts as I work on the companion building.

Varying the brick color on McCampbell's.

Varying the brick color on McCampbell's.

What are you using for the color variations?

I'm kinda making it up as I go along, Dave. Whatever browns and bricky colors I have on hand.  I'm going easy on the lighter colors I have such as Folk Art Pueblo, and using the Terra Cotta sparingly. Jimmy uses the dark (in my pic it's the Wrought Iron) for the areas of crumbled brick, but on a piece of scrap I didn't care for it.  I'm hoping for an overall, unified effect, not individual bricks calling out "Here I am!".  I'm thinking a final inkahol wash and powders will tone it all down some more. I should really practice more on spare pieces but I get antsy and want to move along.

Here's McCampbell's as shown on the MMW website.

Added some Brick Red...pretty invisible on this wall.

Played around some more on a section of wall that won't be visible as it will butt up against the Bonded Warehouse. First, added a few more colors I had on the shelf. Then, an inkahol wash. Finally, some Bragdon's.

Dave........

This is the part of the forum that I really hate.

Some guy comes along with a process that is so cool that you just want to roll a grenade under your bench work and start over.

Those walls are great.

Thanx
Bob

You're too kind, Bob. Nowhere near the effect in Jimmy's example. I've got some of his brick sheets around here. I'll practice his techniques. Thanks kindly.
