<p>Well, I had the wife pick up some paints for me while she was out shopping for Christmas presents.... All though she did a good job in reading my list, she did a rotten job of reading my mind... <span class="smiley">[:I] I really wanted a ton of different colors, she only got what was on my list... sigh.</span></p><p><span class="smiley"> Anyways, she got home and like a kid on Christmas morning, I went to opening my goodies. I started on my Smalltown USA Hardware Store. I thinned out the white acrylic paint in a little cup and went to doing the mortor/grout work. It worked better then I thought it would. Then to the burnt sienna on... this is where patience was needed... After I had finished a few sides, I relized I needed to dull the white down, but it was allready to late. I think the white was to bright and needed to be a creme color so it didnt stand out as much as it did. It still looks ok, but the next building will be planned a pit different.</span></p><p><span class="smiley"> I put the card stock in it to simulate the windows to give it some contrast, but I plan on giving it some "real" windows and puting a light inside. Take a look at the pics and let me know what you think. I still have some touching up to do...</span></p><p><span class="smiley">With Flash </span></p><p><span class="smiley">[img]http://www.michiganmustang.com/images/trains5.jpg[/img]</span></p><p><span class="smiley">Without Flash</span></p><span class="smiley"><p>[img]http://www.michiganmustang.com/images/trains6.jpg[/img]</p><p> </p><p>Ken</p></span>
