It has been a while since I posted on this build.
Since I cleaned up the mortar I have:
1. Sprayed several coats of Dullcote to protect the mortar.
2. Used a combination of India ink wash and powders to tone down the white mortar and take the shine off the paint. One thing I have learned here; even with several coats of Dullcote if the India ink wash is made with alcohol the wash will go through the Dullcote and push the mortar around. So it is best and no issue with plastic to use the ink mixed with water.
3. I painted all the details. I stuck with dark gray so I could match the window color.
4. The lettering on the main entrance was highlighted using a Humbrol wash. I just basically dipped a needle nose brush into the jar then barley touched the letters. Capillary action took care of the rest.
Next up is to clean up some spots with touch up pint then a few more coats of Dullcote. Then I will install the lights and windows. Since the interior is wide open I plan on using vellum for the window panes to give a 'frosted' appearance.
