Tom,

By the looks of it you're matching the colour palette you want to use very well.

Ron,

Thank you, I want to keep the color neutral or at least a little toned down..

Hello Tom, the addition of colors is really bringing the structure to life and I really liked the prototype photos that you posted. I can see where you're headed now.

Jeff,

Hey, thank you and I agree. These are starting to look much more authentic with the addition of the colors.

I started painting the red brick color on the end of the MR I building. I used Americana Brick Red for the walls.

The roof top has the common walls so I painted them all with the brick red and not the colors of the front and rear.



This color reminds me of the color of my fireplace in the kitchen. The brick color is called Tennessee Red.

Next I'll start painting the concrete color around the windows, doors and roof.

The roof in not glued in place.

Tom, nice choice of colors that work well together.
Waiting to see how you do the mortar lines.

Howdy Tom,

The row is looking great.  The varied colors look authentic.  I am a big fan of Deco Art's Heritage Brick color. 

Have fun,
