Scratch built garage in 1/35th scale (part 3 - the painting)

Hey everyone,

The garage is now completely finished. The base painting of the bricks was realized with cheap acrylic paint from Dalbe and a large flat brush. Different Vallejo colors were then used to bring some variation to the bricks. The joints were made with plaster and when they were completely dry I applied randomly several washes of dark grey, black and sandy colors on the whole façade to tone down that shiny look. Vallejo Game inks simulate the accumulation of dirt and humidity.

The roof was airbrushed with a mix of different Tamiya paints. Vallejo Foundation White was then speckled with an old flat brush to simulate light spots on the zinc roof. The weathering of the roof was achieved with Raw Umber oil paint and odorless thinner. 

The wooden door was not primed, I immediately painted it randomly on the plastic sheet with different colors not mixed evenly. The hinges, the handles and the rivets were painted in German Camo Black Brown with spots of Hull Red and then rubbed with a pencil to give them a light metallic shine. For the weathering of the door I used a wash of Raw Umber oil paint and odorless thinner to enhance the wooden structure. Vallejo Game inks were then used for the final touch especially on the bottom of the door.

The “garage moderne” board was painted as the door but with different colors. Once this base color was dry, I applied a coat of chipping fluid from AK Interactive with a brush and, once dry, I sprayed a mix of Tamiya White and Buff diluted with water. After 20 minutes I took an old flat brush and started to rub the white paint off the board in order to make the chips appear. Generic dry transfers were then applied on the board to write the name of the garage and more scratches were added to the board to blend the freshly applied letters to the board. As finishing touch I used Raw Umber oil paint as a wash for the weathering and added ivy on the left side of the garage.

HAPPY MODELLING!
