pennsynut posted:Sometime ago I bought MTH PRR Zoo switch tower. (30-90098) It has green trim, siding is brown on the top, and the stucco on the lower level although depicted as cream in color shows yellow on my model. I was a little disappointed in the yellow. I checked the lighting affects but that is not the issue. Its just a light (annoying to me) yellow and against the brown and green on the upper level its not appealing.
I want to weather it anyway, so do any of you have ideas on colors I could use on that, especially to kill the yellow. BTW, Have any of you ever disassembled one of these towers to paint and weather? Thanks.
If this is like other MTH structures there are screws and snap ins - no glue so it would be fairly easy to disassemble.
If above is a sample of what you have the top mimics wood while the bottom looks like painted concrete.
If you re-paint start with flat or satin colors you like then spray with dullcote. Then take a look and see where you are at. Jason Jenson has a youtube video how to make plastic look like wood plus another video on a plastic kit that is worth watching for ideas especially on weathering.
