Weathering Walthers' Built-Ups

Actually I don't think the craftsmanship of the Walthers "Fire Co. No. 4" firehouse that I bought was mediocre at all. Yes, I think that assembling the kits is half the fun sometimes, but like dano99a says, sometimes it's nice to just stick it on the layout and be done with it. I plan on adding some more Walthers built-ups to my layout. A little weathering and they'll be fine. <br /> <br />BTW, I finished late this afternoon filling in the mortar of the Walthers Fire Co. No. 4 by watering down some gray Pollyscale paint and it didn't turn out too bad. Now I just need to finish it off by adding some pastel chalk to weather it up a bit and then paint a coat of Pollyscale Flat Finish onto it and then I'll be done. Looks much better without that plastic sheen!
