Darden Mill - CCK

[Dave K.]

So I dipped into another color, again into the spirits, and this time plucked-up a bit of powder and made a little more mess on the wall.

[Dave K.]

Just kept doing that, bouncing around between colors and powders, making a mess. I figure if it doesn't work out I'll just blame Jeff's kit.

[Dave K.]

A little darker than intended, but almost looks like I knew what I was doing.

[Dave K.]

Not sure if I should futz with it some more or leave well enough alone. Think I'll walk away for a bit and take the dogs out.

[Dave K.]

I figure anything that looks this bad has gotta be kinda-sorta artistic.

[Dave K.]

Woo-eee!  Look what I just found on the porch...

[Dave K.]

Now I can run with you big dawgs!

I have a few of those clamps Dave , they are more then great.

Dave,

It looks like a clear version of my 1955 Ford rusty hubcap! It's a FTOB. Fantastic (Sub another word here) Thing Of Beauty.

Before leaving things for the evening yesterday I concluded it was darker than I had hoped. I lightener her up with some silver dry-brushing and light gray chalks. It still looks darker in the pic than in person, and the silver is nowhere near as evident as it is in the pic. Onward!

Dave,
I know exactly what you mean about the camera recording colors differently, sometimes that makes it hard for other modelers to see what a model looks like to the naked eye.  I just snapped a couple photos of a model and need to find a way to change up the lighting or camera settings.  The model itself has subtle chalk weathering, looking at the photo on my computer screen, the weathering looks like clown makeup.
Given your caveat about the photo versus the actual wall, should look great with the rest of the building.

Hi Dave:

very nicely done rusted wall. Love the colors.

Thanks, guys. Walls are up and glue is drying. Sunday morning, so the doggers and I are off to visit the seniors. 👴

Have a project that has a clock ticking, so the mill goes to the back, but...
