Karl,
I agree with everyone else, regarding the beautiful job on these brick walls. I need to shrink myself, I would love to make that building my home!

Hi Jerry
The lintels are the Monster parts that Manny alluded to.

Hello all,
Some folks have asked about the colors I used on the brick walls...I'll attempt to figure out my notes.
1) Mist walls with Krylon #51318 Grey Primer
2) Dry brush these colors on using a 1/4" "cat's tongue" brush. I start with the darkest color and work up to the lightest.
I use this to thin my craft paints for dry-brushing...it makes the inexpensive craft paints have a much better outlook on life...and a lot more user-friendly when brushed on.
Then I splash on opaque red and brown water colors diluted with the Photo Flo...
The 24 color set costs about 6 bucks and will most certainly out last me...
The two objects that look like hockey pucks are really dry tempera paint cakes. These things are great - they will never dry out and they dry flatter than my Cousin Lucy. Mix them up with a little Photo Flo and they scream to get into the grout lines on the brick wall.
OK, so after Cousin Lucy's flats dried I wanted a bit more grit on the walls. Sinopia pigments diluted with Elmer's School Glue, alcohol and a few drops of Photo Flo worked for me. The Sinopia part numbers are on the bottles.
Here's the finished first floor...
Thanks to those who have followed along...

Thanks Karl, appreciate the walk through on coloring your brick walls. All the steps bring out a wonderful and most natural layering of colors for the brick, even Cousin Lucy would think so !
The first floor looks great, enjoying your build here and hope you're doing the same.
Thanks for sharing,
Happy modeling, |

Question about the Sinopia pigments - on the r/h bottle, the number is 4830 ? 4840. Is that middle digit a 7?

Hey Karl,
Thank you so much for posting that information. I too have copied it on MS Word and saved it for future reference.
One last question: Did you buy your supplies locally or on the internet? If the internet, do you have a favorite supplier?
Thanks,
Manny
OH, where do I send the Otis Spunkmeyers and what is your favorite flavor? |

Not being one to rest, but like to scavenge for things, this is what I found:
Americana Alizarin Crimson, Canyon Orange, Burnt Sienna can be found at Hobby Lobby.
Americana Neutral Grey is a bit allusive. Does the bottle have a part number on it? It would more than likely begin with "DA".
Delta Ceramcoat Charcoal is available at Hobby Lobby as well.
Go to www.dickblick.com and you can find the big bottle of Student Tempera Muticultural Burn Sienna.
The Chartpak Watercolor Wheels, are actually now sold under Koh-l-noor, with their part number being 26086, and FA171506DIS. I found this at several online art stores and Amazon.com.
I need a little more information on the Sinopia pigments. The numbers on the bottles no longer correspond to their part numbers. I did manage to find your K4100, which is now K41000 but it is purchased in bags as small as 1KG. Did you have to mix it from a powder? Can you elaborate a little on the Sinopia for us?
Thanks!
Manny |

Manny,
There have been a number of threads on RRL outlining the use of the Sinopia pigments. Here's one I dug out of the archives wherein Rich provides some details, however, I think it was Karl who got many of us started using these pigments in our modeling. Hope this helps a bit ...
