Mixed the Polly Scale with water, 50/50 or so with a couple of drops of airbrush Flo Aid.  did two coats.  Forgot to mention, I didn't leave on the carrier sheet so I could paint all the edges. Only spilled a little paint on myself.  

I have a new Grex Airbrush which the sales guy at the Narrow Gauge Convention stated didn't really need a "total break down cleaning" very often.  We'll see if it works.  

They came out OK.

I also put a coat of the Depot Buff on the siding.  Used a wide brush and occasionally dipped the tip of the brush in water to more evenly spread the paint.  They look a little rougher than the picture shows and may need a second coat.  I'll compare them to the station and see.  

Unfortunately, I was worried the Roof Brown wasn't dark enough and the trim piece shows this to be the case.  I'll see if I have a darker brown in the Vallejo set.  I must have used a different brown on the station, or maybe this brown is lighter than the original Floquil solvent paint.

Jeff looks like you're off to a good start. Hope the railing aren't as fragile as they look.

Jeff, glad you were able to get the windows together.
How do you like the airbrush?
Hope you find a darker brown.

Howdy Jeff,

I concur with the peel-n-stick stuff.  It's always a challenge. Hope you like the airbrush. You might be able to darken the paint with pigments.

Have fun,

Jeff chocolate brown is a good trim color with buff. Good progress so far.
