FOS' Hollis Pest Control

When the green paint was dry, I used fresh painters tape and covered the green. I used a short piece of stripwood to press the tape down in the wall.



I used the Scalecoat Sand color next. I dipped the brush in the paint and then the tip in thinner. I then applied this to the walls. Every so often I painted some Sand color directly to the walls and then thinned it with clean thinner. I used the t-shirt to remove some paint and thinner.

When I first opened the Scalecoat Sand color, I panicked as the paint looked pink in color. When dry, the walls appear to be almost Driftwood looking.

Fast forward and here are some of the finished walls.

More in a few.

Next, the corner trim was painted using the same colors.  Here is how I married the two different colors to be even on the  corners.

I applied the Hunterline Medium Brown to four pieces of corner trim using scale 6 x 6's.

When dry I paint on the green color on both ends. When the green was dry, I used painters tape to cover the green.



I then used the sand color to stain/paint the center sections of the four 6X6's.



More in a few.

The tape was removed when dry.



Now to get it glued to the wall edge and even with the bottom color.

I marked on the rear wall section where the green color is on the obverse side.

I glued the corner trim to the wall edge and used the pencil line to align the green. Prior to the glue drying, I made sure it was also properly aligned on the front.





I then cut the trim off on the bottom and top.



Busy day tomorrow with the Babe so I'm not sure I'll get any modeling done.

I sprayed painted the doors and windows with the Scalecoat Sand color. I tried something different this time.

When the doors and windows were still tacky, I dipped them into a jor of Hunterline Medium Brown A&I. I think the A&I will become part of the paint for the overall weathered look to match the walls.

I found the jar at Sam Flax Art Supply.

Once dipped in the A&I, they were placed on a paper towel to dry.



When dry, I wrapped some painters tape around a wood paint stir stick and sprayed them with Model Master Flat finish.
