Hi at all!
There are any news on my Handley WVa coaling tower.
This weekend I have painted the 4 walls and the legs of the coal dock. First I have applied simple grey acrylic paint. Next step was to add the first layer of the simulated concrete. I have mixed the grey acrylic paint with ocher yellow and with finest sand (found on banks of most creeks). After applying and drying of the mixture I have grinded down the walls again and have applied the last layer of acrylic paint, now without added sand.
I think, it looks like a real old concrete wall! Last thing to do is to add the metal sheets, which cover the gable ends on each side. The tower will be weathered in the last phase of work!
Enjoy the pics!
Greetings
