After the spill clean up, I repainted the area of the roof that got splashed.

Made a test fit with the roof painted.

Next painted white trim on the right end building. I see a little white bleed on the top of the first floor trim. Will fix that later.



I was  gong to add a sign to this side wall but it faces the alley. Not much to see.

I added wood roof trap doors where the resin doors were. They were stained with Floquil Flo-Stain Oak.

I weathered the roof caps and walls with Hunterline Light Gray A&I alcohol stain.

Looking good Tom, I felt your pain when I knocked over a bottle of Floquil Burlington Northern green and lost most of it.....darn. :'(

I used PanPastels artist pastels to lightly weather the roof. I'll add more weathering once the roof is permanently on the structure.

Greg,

Yes, I remember now you did that. By the way, Dam holds back water and Damn is what we say to be polite, as in "Damn right you sure did!"

You know you are my fall guy, right?

It's not Floquil, but I think you can match Weathered Black to one of the standard artist Neutral Gray range:

Tom, nice job repainting the roof.
All the painting and details added are bringing the roofs to life.

Looks great, Tom! If I spill paint I'll be a dead man walking given I work mostly in the living room. I'd have to throw my body on the floor to protect the rug!  :o

Nice job painting the roofs Tom.  And the added detail is really nice I like the wooden parts you made up.

Coming on nicely, Tom.

I like your colour schemes.

Cheers, Mark.

Howdy Tom,

I like the color variation of the roofs and subsequent weathering, just excellent.

Sorry for the loss of all that paint.  I think we've all spilled something, mine was a whole container of Dr Bens black pigment, that I'm still trying to get off the floor, a year later.

Have fun,
mike
