Cannery Update

Hello All:

Here are some updated photos of the progress of the Troels Kirk Cannery (April 25, 2009)

Still a bit more to do but the kit/diorama will be complete within the week and the task of completing the instructions will begin.  I expect it will take 2 - 3 weeks to complete.  Another  week or 2 to print them and then I can start shipping by June 1st. 

If you are interested on getting on a waiting list please contact me.  I am only going to make 100 kits.  I expect the price to fall within the range of $140 - $120 (plus shipping).

Painting Brick Walls

Follow these easy steps to create great BRICK WALLS:

STEP 1:

Spray your brick walls with acrylic white spray paint.
NOTE: it is especially important to completely seal HYDROCAL

STEP 2:

i)  Paint your sills and larger trim a concrete / gray colour of your choice.

STEP 3:

i) Apply a coat with Delta Creamcoat (or a cream coloured paint in at your local hobby shop)

ii) Georgia Clay (thinned down into a wash) {this step will not look good}

iii) Burnt Sienna (thinned down into a wash … you might have to apply 2 washes)

iv) Apply a few coats of Weathering Formula (rubbing alcohol and india ink mixture, or check out www.hunterline.com for a premixed weathering formulas)

v) Floquil Grimey Black and paint the odd brick here and there

Below are a few photos of various hydrocal, resin and plastic brick wall examples painted by friends Lance Russwurm and Greg Shinnie.
