I picked up a MTH bank and would like to alter it's finish to look less "plastic like" and more like stone. Any finishing tips/photos would be appreciated.

I believe if you search Ed, you could also find the bank was used for making custom station. People would take three of them to make a big station and then paint them.
I had saved several on my old computer. I will do a search.
My hats off to who ever built this one, from MTH bank kits,
that was on the York modular layout during the last show. The yellow cabs lined up out front give it a good old days of travel by train feeling.

I have two stations built from bank buildings. The first I had for a while and painted it with a texture paint. The second my good friend Alex Malliae built for me while I was fighting cancer in 2012. The work Alex does is second to none. I needed a project and Alex took care of that. After he got it to me, I tricked it out with Miller signs and a backdrop of Philadelphia. Both stations are built above my main lines and have live catenary below. This station was also painted with a textured paint to take away the plastic look. I have a can somewhere in the workshop if anyone wants the color. Both stations look like concrete. The bottom photo is the station by Alex.
