Hello,
I just got a new to me but still new MTH Hellgate bridge that I want to weather the brickwork. What is the best method to dumb down the brightness of the shiny new looking plastic?

BTW it is the grey and red version.
A very acceptable way to start that process would be to apply a coat of Roberts Brick and Mortar Formula. This will fill in the mortar lines and you can keep as much of it on or just rub off to a level you like. Its a white chalky liquid material you paint on with a brush and you can rub off the excess. You can leave it like that or seal it and use other weathering. I got a jar of it at my hobby shop but I bet you can find it on line as well.

That’s a good idea as it will help define those lines and I want to use a brown or even a dark grey for the brick weathering. Thanks
