Color looks great John.

Interesting technique.  The left wall looks like an old Scottish castle to me.  Cool.

John,

I believe you've captured the look of an old weathered church. My Babe is from Baltimore, MD. and there are several old churches in her old neighborhood with walls that look just like this.

Great stuff here.

Thanks Steve - now I need to reproduce them on the kit castings.

Thanks Jeff - I looked at a bunch of them last year maybe that's what my eyes want to see.

Thanks Tom - I need to find a faster way to take pictures and post them if I'm going to document builds like this.

Here is the walls after I dry brushed them.

It's been really interesting to follow the application of the colors.  My personal preference is the lighter, upper left wall in the picture but I'd bet you could easily find prototypes that match all five of them.

My favorite is the middle right one with the 3 windows , even if the stones came from one area they'd still have some tones in them like the one I favor.

Thanks for following along with the thread Bob - interesting choice - that is the one I did to match the Stone Roundhouse build I did a few years ago.  It will be used for a near future build - a locomotive works which will be located next to the Stone Roundhouse.  I took some pictures of the walls up in the area where the church will go on the layout that I will post this evening. Don't be surprised if I go a little lighter on the church castings.

I hear you - I want the brown shades to show up. There is actually more brown in the casting to my eye than the camera is capturing. I'm about to post some pictures of the castings in the lighting and location where the church will be located on my layout. I'm hoping that the brown rocks in the area will bring out the brown colors in these wall castings.

John all the walls look great, I'm favoring the middle left wall myself.

[S&S RR]

Before I forget, here is the bottle for the light grey primer that I used on the wall castings. I didn't have a picture last night when I posted the pictures.

Thanks for watching the thread and your input.  I'm glad people like it because it looks like that is where I'm going with the build.

Before I committed to the C.C. Crow White Stone Church not being White I had to try one of the castings up on the mountain side of my layout. 





Any questions?

[S&S RR]

So here's what the castings we have been discussing look like on the side of the mountain.





The far right unfinished portion of the casting is with just the light grey primer.
