@BAR GP7 #63 you make me want to count my rivets sometimes
@Odenville Bill Black is ok. Silver over it or instead of that will reflect light around inside(more light hits windows) Black alone actually absorbs light (and heat). Painting the inside but not the outside will darken the plastic as light no longer enters the plastic to lighten its shade. This can lead to roof overhang being a different shade as the overhang has no background color. (light even penetrates paint and reflects some of the pimer color back through the topcoat and back at you. Consider this stuff before you shoot color on things.)
Lions, and Tigers, & Phillies! Oh my... wanna compare loosers? @Vincent Massi, imo you should get some (cheap, about $1 a bottle here at Wally-mart) craft acrylics in flat black and a shade (or two) of flat grey to paint your styrofoam.(gloss= wet stuff).
It is FUN, easy, and cheap to do (water based& water clean up). Black first, then a big, nearly dry brush for grey (or another color; red, tan?) For the most part, the more you "mess up" the better they look.
These buildings are a scrap foam box, so are the blocks/piers and the rocks below that. Not exactly "hi-tech modeling", I actually tried to do a poor job to learn the weaknesses of the technique (My drybrushing was limited to small art before this)... there weren't any weaknesses. (bricks, chips, etc are just natural or carved with a butter knife, hacksaw blade, or whatever else was handy. Windows/frames are paint, constuction paper, fireplace matches, and Q-tip box for glass doors, staples sta handles, etc.)
Hey Mike, don't forget to gas up the Jag too.😲
It is a dream; doesn't run on them 😈 😬 😂 🙃
