This is the floor after the initial pinhole punching and pencil coloring routine.I have yet to brush or spray on the thin wash of raw umber.Some of the larger openings in the boards I sometimes take a small brush a with a watery raw umber and color them before starting with the pastels.I will post a pic of the finished floor later.

the above is after one thin wash of raw umber followed by the toothbrush flicking treatment.Pastels will be applied when I figure out where to put the human wear and tear.

Smile Engine shop walls.

On some websites the pics are awfully big,I will attempt to change the settings if I can figure out how.Besides it shows all the mistakes!
Anyway this is a pic of a section of the interior wall of the engine shop.I simply laid cardboard over the foamboard and glued it on.The window trim and battens are 1/4 inch coffee stir stiks.On a rough structure such as a barn or hangar they really are all you need but the quality is somewhat poor as you can see from bent and warped shapes and the inconsistent 1/4 inch widths.
They were treated the same way as the floor with watery nimbus grey(the bottom line of vertical boards are the inside of the outside board and batten wall.)The cardboard insulation has been treated with a spray coat of laquer and allowed to soak in.Do not overspray as you do not want a shiny surface.Nail holes were done the same way as the floor.Weathering is next!

This is the exterior of the same wall done in board and batten style.The boards are tongue depressors and the battens are those same 1/4 inch stir stiks.The bottom of the boards and battens are left in an irregular pattern as I want to show a little heavier weathering where they come in close proximity to the ground.Additional weathering will be carried out the usual way except the nail heads will show a little rust.

Thumbs up

Here I have gone over the battens with plain water to swell the nail holes as I didnt want any more of the grey color.Then I took some very watery raw umber and toothbrush flicked a bit of crud on ,after I had protected the plexiglass with paper.I then used a very small round brush and with the same raw umber emphasized where I thought the crud may build up a little heavier over the years.Try to be subtle and take your time,it will be worth it in the end.Now it is on to the pastels!
