We have acceptable temperatures since yesterday. That gave me the opportunity to do some paint spray work on the grain elevator silo at the balcony.
Airbrush is no option of that large building in my home office. I would need to repaint the room and possible start hunting for a new wife (after 37 years...).
Therefore the silo got a light gray base coat out of the spray can on the balcony. New was putting masking tape from the home depot in horizontal stripes. I used a more or less dry brush and and made vertical movements with PollyS concrete. After that the silo got a black and a PollyS aged concrete wash.
Putting a wash on such a large object is really a mess in the office.
I am not really satisfied with the result. It is somewhat better than on the pictures but.... have a look

The cheep masking tape did peel of some plugs of the gray coat displaying the former white base. The white lines between the elements are reflections of the camera flash.
