believable concrete colour for portal: the right mix

I ran into this exact same problem for some concrete walls I cast in plaster. I too tried the 'concrete' and 'aged concrete' and neither looked right. Then I tried Model Master Acryl - Sand. This gives it a subtle yellow/tan look, which to me looks like old concrete. Old, as in something poured 50+ years ago. New concrete tends to be grey and lightens with age. <br /> <br />I finished the concrete with chalks, using a mixture of greys and browns. This gives some variance to the color. Of course, you'll want to add some black soot to the top of the portal to make it grimmy.
