FOS M. D. Garage Build

[ACL1504]

I finished weathering the roof. The next photo is a repeat of when I first added the rolled roofing and sanded it.



I then applied a liberal amount of thinned AK Slimy Grime to the rolled roofing.

I then blended on some Pan Pastel chalks. I used Paynes Gray and Neutral Gray Extra Dark. I alternated between colors and softened the grime color to give a worn, weather beaten and mildew look.



Since the rear of the garage is towards the wooded area, I added some flowering vines.

I glued the fences in place. The white glue at the bottom is to hold some of the bush growing in the rear that worked under the fence.

Here's the source of the bushy flowering vine.



The yellow flowering tree will get replanted once the garage is in place.



Done for today.

Tom, the roof looks fantastic.
As do the vines growing up the walls and all the fence.
Fence looks good too.

Hello Tom, great job on the landscaping. I especially like the flowering vine- nice touch.

I've used the 16 fl. oz. of Photo-Flo 200 for many years and I'm on my second bottle.


Thanks Tom, I have a bottle of Photo-Flo and I have used it for many types of applications.
One in particular was extending acrylic paint over wood, which works quite well.

Rich,


Thank you. I never knew one could extend acrylic paint. Or is it just over wood? I'll have to try that tip

Tom,

I have also used Photo Flo with Vallejo paints when hand-brushing the exterior of a Jordan Highway Miniatures truck body. I was astonished that the paint didn't show any brush marks when it was applied with the brush. If you try that I hope you get the same results.

Tom,

I also like the scenery, with the flowering bushes, fence, underbrush and the vines on the corner of the building.
And the blending of the worn roof mildew to carry it through. Nice additions.

Howdy Tom,

Wow, the scene looks fantastic.  I really like vines on buildings.  The structure is excellent and the fence and details add a lot to the scene.  Looking forward to the finale.

Have fun,
mike
