Merchant's Row I, A Magnuson Kit Bash

Squadron Green is styrene, apparently.  I took an old bottle of Testors Liquid (with the brush), squeezed some Squadron Green into it, and then poured some Testors liquid back into the bottle and stirred.  The result (depending on how much Testors glue I added) was a lot easier to work with than the Squadron Green right out of the tube.

Dave,

Great info on the squadron green putty. I've used it in the past and didn't care for the results.

To get a better feel on how these will look in place, I started the painting process.

For the end store on this row, I chose Tamiya Gray Green. The left store was taped off and I sprayed the end store.

I suspect any styrene solvent cement would work.  Of the solvent cements I use, Testors is the slowest drying/slowest evaporating.  That makes it the best candidate as a thinner for the Green Putty.  Plus the bottle with the brush on the cap is convenient for applying small amounts of putty.

Ron,

Thanks very much. I also like this color a lot and need to avoid over using it.

The front of the business next to the green front in stone or marble so I left is a gray and will address it latter.

The next building was taped off and sprayed with Tamiya Tan.

[ACL1504]

There gray wall in the center is the rear wall to the front one that is stone or marble.



The rear of that wall is brick. It was taped off and sprayed with Tamiya Dull Red. It isn't as red in reality as it appears in to photo.

Once weathered it will be fine.
