Hi All:

Started working on the laser cut framing walls. I did this by the instructions and want to know how you think it looks.

Wall is coated with clear alcohol and then brushed with chalk powders. I used light brown and rust colored chalk powder.

Let me know what you think.

Karl nice.  That is great coloring.


Whose chalks did you use??


Jerry

[PainTrain]

I think the color looks great so far. 

You'll have plenty of opportunity to experiment since this kit has like 2 lbs of strip wood lol.

Hey Jerry & Paintrain:

Thanks guys. Chalks are Bragoen Enterprises.

Hey All:

Got some more walls done. I didn't think I was going to like this but it is a pretty coll way to color the walls.

Here's another pic.

I need to add this one to my stash before Brett quits production of the kit. I'll be looking to this build Karl.

I'm following along, too.  The wall coloring looks good - the big issue with this coloring technique is not getting things too dark.

Karl, what's the plan for floors in the shops?  That's something I kinda agonized over in my roundhouse, and wasn't quite happy with my final solution there.
