Reply to "New Project - Custom Building Front Update 12-11"

I need to do some touch up painting then the building front is ready to spray for decals.

I tried something new for me with respect to the mortar. I usually make use of joint compound then darken it up with an India ink wash and powders. This time I tried Humbrol dark brown wash from a bottle. I tried letting it seep into the mortar lines but ended up brushing it on the entire surface. The trick is to wait about 2 hours for the wash to dry then use a pencil eraser to wipe the wash off the brick face. This was time consuming but the effect looks real good. I forgot to wipe off the area in front of the door so did this the next morning. By this time it was considerably harder to wipe off the brick surface.

I still need to find a decent interior image for the store. I will mount this to some thin hardboard.
