That looks really nice! I like the way the building has different sections. When it's under roof, I bet it will look even better and have great character. Thumbsup

Thanks Don!

Working on the filler (not as much needed as I feared) and priming them outdoors this morning.

One lesson learned - Old, left-over spray bomb primer not so good. New can much better...! Hopefully this will lead to a "natural variation" in the colour of the bricks and mortar! Wink 35

Thanks guys!

Got it primed yesterday, which unfortunately had the effect of highlighting the gaps. I will have to go at it with a bit more filler. Picked up the fire escapes and some "Robert's Brick Mortar" from the trainshop as well. Tried a "new" spongepainting technique on the bricks, but it's quite difficult to get into the corners with the sponge, so I may end up just painting the whole thing, and only using the sponge to introduce a bit of variation.
