"I used water paint at the black loading dock cover. It looks ok on the layout but the closeup looks awful."
I don't know Reinhard,it looks pretty natural to me.Oviously it has been there exposed to the weather for quite some time.
Re: Freelance 2015-1 - faraway - 05-10-2015
The neighbor building has a similar loading dock. I weathered it with powder and dull coat prior to assembly. The more intense weathering of the other one one is ok but I do not like the brush strokes.

Reinhard, are those doors, decking plates, and door seals from a kit or separately available?

I don't know....I think the brush strokes on it look like scuffs and scrapes that you might see on a real one
Everything is looking great on the layout!
Re: Freelance 2015-1 - shortliner - 05-11-2015
Thanks Reinhard

I fully agree.. In fact one of my weathering techniques I used on my Walthers Bud's Trucking and Laustrom shipping (these are background kits) I left light brush strokes to vary the weather stains ,light rust and dirt.

It is crying for parking lots, a drive thru window road etc. .....
Re: Freelance 2015-1 - faraway - 05-15-2015
We got the roads, the parking space and the sidewalk done today. Next will be green and some details

Looks really good, you should also try to build a big menu board with a speaker where the grayish car is so people can order then pull up to the window maybe even a low clearance bar across the drive thru so no vehicles hit the awning at the window similar to this <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://viewpointsign.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=4509&g2_serialNumber=2">http://viewpointsign.com/gallery2/main. ... alNumber=2</a><!-- m -->

Re: Freelance 2015-1 - torikoos - 05-19-2015
Looking great Reinhard. Is that the Woodland Scenics road making system you've used?
I've tried it myself, and I just can't get the stuff to be smooth. I've always got un-even surfaces, airbubbles etc...
