The wall castings got a coat of primer before I made molds of them for another project.

Thank you for following along. I spent a few hours, yesterday preparing the detail castings for priming. The fun has begun.

Update:  A lot of detail castings made their way through the paint booth, today.  I also spent a few hours trimming, sand and fitting the resin castings for the Brick Roundhouse build. This afternoon was spent out on the tractor finishing the landscaping work I had to do and then installing the mower deck. It's May 2nd, is it safe to take the plow off the tractor?

I use spray cans - to prime them. Then acrylic paints and chalks.  Back in the floquil days I used my air brush but I haven't used it for a long time now.

I made a test casting for the coloring of the walls for my Brick Roundhouse today. 





Started with a red automotive primer color.  Spray Can


Next, painted all the concrete with concrete color acrylic paint. applied with a brush


Then, I went over the concrete with a neutral great pastel chalk. applied with a brush


Followed that step with a coating of light raw umber pastel chalk. applied with a brush


Used an eraser to remove  some of the raw umber pastel from the surface of the brick.


Dry brushed, locally with some black pastel chalk for some dark accents.


Note: This casting was picked for my test piece because of the air bubbles that you can see when you zoom in on the picture.


What do you think?
