T. Schwarz Waterproofing

Hmmmm...now I'm wondering: paint or not?

[PRR Modeler]

Looks great Dave.

[Dave K.]

Thanks, Curt. Input solicited, all: I'm leaning toward NOT painting...just weathering. Thoughts?

[Zephyrus52246]

I think painting it would take out the random dark spots, make it look to homogeneous.   Just weather it. This is the MIG product, correct?

This is the AK, Jeff. I think "no paint" is a slam dunk.

[Jim Donovan]

Well for a guy who says he can't draw a straight line it sure came out great. I think the AK and MIG products are suppose to be used as is, no painting. Have not used myself so no expert.

Weathering and pothole-patching the lot.

Is the face smooth now or course  Dave , concrete tiles or slabs are smooth aren't they , maybe do the same as in real life , when the concrete is just dry enough it is smoothened , you could do that with a spatula . The color looks great, especially after weathering.

[PRR Modeler]

Very nice modeling Dave.

[Dave K.]

Pretty smooth, Jan, though the texture of the product doesn't make it obvious.

[Dave K.]

Thanks, Curt.👍🏻

[Opa George]

Very nice, Dave. Brett and Todd Wiley were just talking with Doug Foscale about this AK product on the HO Scale Customs podcast. It is apparently very popular, to the point that Doug can't get enough to resell on his site and its going on backorders.  With your results, I can see why its selling so fast.

Gonna try this textured brick paper from Foggy Mountain Models.

The streets look great Dave!  The textured brick paper will be a nice touch too.
