I recently purchased a Lionel animated windmill and I don't like part of the color scheme.
The vanes are white plastic and the platform is black plastic embossed to look like wood planks. Black wood?
I'll probably paint the platform a shade of brown to look more like wood, but not sure about the vanes. Some windmills have metal blades.
I thought the vanes might look better painted a metal color (aluminum, etc). Perhaps making them look rusted is appropriate, but I have yet to master "rusting" to look real.
Comments are appreciated.
