I put a black wash in the bricks the dry brushed four different colours on them,
Light black washed the roof and dry brushed light grey on the edges of the tiles that are up a bit, The grass around the base has two shades of green but not happy with the out come of it will glue down some grass that I used on the base board of the layout.
Also will look at using the dry pastels on some of the brick work and roof too then seal with dull coat.
Each part had to be clean up as there is a lot of flashing and the roof has small circles all over it, very hard to remove them yes!
Still a lot to do on it yet before I put the window glass in place. yes!
A lot better the N-scale :lol:
Oh roof was just sat in place for photo. yes!

Worked on the grass around the base, got to wait a few days for it to dry now before I rework the wash on the bricks.

Re-black wash the bricks and add a bit more shrubs one the side.
I was check out the rear half of the building and found there is a large slide door missing and found parts that does not belong to this kit. Might have to make up a door.
