This picture shows the painting process - I dump some power onto my glass plate and then mix in some alcohol to make a paint.

Here is what the walls looked like after the final step which is to dry brush the raw umber tint over the surfaces of the stones for a highlight affect.  This is the same thing George does with paint and the dry brushing technique. I just like the power look better.

I decided not to use mortar on this build.  This is a foundry located in a industrial yard with Steam Engines. The mortar would be very dark.

The highlights of the stonework will be redone once the model is in place on the layout. I don't want to use a fixative and the handling durning the build process will take some of the highlights off.

I also did a final planning session on the structure placement on the layout. The white piece of paper is the footprint of the structure. The track gauges show how the position of the siding that will feed the foundry and a number of other businesses down the line.
