chris a posted:Looking good Mayor ! We may be miles apart, but we're working on very similar projects.... I decided to take some in progress photos of the brick wall weathering..... All 9 (2-story walls) have been primed red oxide, then 2 different brick colors added, (Lackawanna Maroon, and Rust), then sealed with dullcoat (Krylon Brand).... Now three have the mortar work done, if anyone hasn't tried adding multiple brick colors, I figured it would be worthwhile to show what it looks like between steps.
Unfortunately, I am working on the kitchen island and the overhead lights make it difficult to get a good balanced photo, the mortar lines aren't nearly as prominent as the camera is showing them.
Paul - : The gorge project is looking great !!
Vince, I think it's the unique Red/White/Blue paint scheme on the State of Maine Boxcars, I liked it from the first time I saw one in the 60's.
Brian & Andy, thanks for kind words on the canyon project. Yes I am really glad I built the frame as an independent module that I could move and incorporate in a future layout.
Chris, your brick work looks fantastic! I still have weathering to do on mine but don't think I have the chops to get mine to look as good as yours.
