Mario,
Nice work on this structure so far, and I am in "awe" at your coloring of the stone walls. Do you use washes, just chalk powders on them, or both in stages? They appear very pleasing to the eye. I like the light carmel color, similar to the walls on Brian Nolan's Diorama. I am assuming, after reading your comments, that you never use dullcote when you are done coloring. That's ok if no one handles it. [:-thumbu][:-thumbu]

Guys. Thanks for your comments.
Rich. I painted the walls back in 2005, using a dilute wash of $2 acrylic paint, then brushed on various chalk colours to add a bit of contrast. I find any sort of sealer spray changes the texture of my finishes, so I eliminate that process.
Neil. My web site link shows my brew [:-drunk] of Metho & black / brown shoe dye.
I give any timbers a quick brush and not worrying about covering all areas. This gives contrast. Fine chalks powders applied. I may re do areas many times before I am happy with the final result. In the end, it's all luck for me.

Large scale rack [:-eyebrows]
I spent the cold day working on a "Nolan Oil Tank" in 1:24 scale. Nearly finished it and then dropped it..
. It looked like a kit on the floor
The second attempt came out much better.
More work to be done on this project.
