Although it may be a little hard to see in this pic ,I have added a little subtle weathering ,using very watery raw umber flicked on with an old toothbrush ,which is even better than an airbrush for this purpose, as it tends to make for various size cruddy spots.Speaking about an airbrush,although I do own one from my decorative bird carving days ,I almost never use it in my diorama work.Occasionally I will use it to antique a silver or gold part on a car or for spraying a matte medium on a very smooth ,slippery surface.Just about all my work is done with a brush using watered down acrylics and pastels for shading ,which is the next step in this weathering process.

Where areas look a little too dark I can now come back with a little light gray pastel to soften them up a bit.Next step will be to paint each nail head with burnt umber gesso ,followed by burnt sienna acrylic, softened with a little burnt sienna pastel for a nice rusty look.

Crazy idea?
Maybe this idea is a little over the top and may have to be saved for another day but.........(of course there is always a "but").
The idea of a diorama within a diorama has always fascinated me!This little glass case that I found somewhere, got me to thinking.How about finding a very small scale WW1 or Wright flyer or Bleriot type aircraft and fitting it inside this little 2x2x2 inch case?Where the heck I would put this little diorama or model ,I don't know.The company office is already quite full,maybe one of the workshops? I remember seeing somewhere a very small series of models that were made of metal and were like the open structure type that I build.I forget the scale maybe 144th.If any of you guys remember seeing these please help!!!!

Well this is about as far as I plan to go on the roof for now.When I secure it for good I will do a few touch ups here and there.Funny, I have been meaning to eliminate that little vertical joint line on the sign square since the beginning but I see it is still there.
I guess the next step will be to complete the rest of this engine shop/loading ramp module.As mid-summer approaches I think that I am in pretty good shape to finish this diorama by years end.(minus the Camel /trailer winter project,which is basically an add-on.)
