Joe,  thanks for sharing the photos,   I have at least 15 similar wall sections, most from Ameritowne, and I have been brainstorming what to do with them.   A picture is "worth a thousand words".  Some really good ideas here, excellent looking buildings and great choice of colors and weathering. 

This is the last piece in a diorama I am building for a customer. It is a fuel loading platform. I still need to add details plus figure out piping. There will be structure to route all piping that I will be making next.

The overall design is shown below

Joe - a whole lot of paint!!!

Most of what I build I sand to roughen the surface for paint adhesion. I usually use a white plastic primer to even out the different plastic colors (black / gray / white) then the color of choice. If I need to add decals I will over spray with Dulcote or equivalent otherwise the rough surface messes up the look of the decal (dark spots - ?"silvering"?).

I will be posting more shots after paint. Right now the only customer imposed spec is red railing.

Joe
