As expected no perfect matching light brown could be found in a rattle can. Beside the usual boxcar red primer was "terra cotta" the only brown available. This is not the terra cotta the prototype tiles are made of. They have been burned twice and glazed. This terra cotta is intended to be sprayed on cheap flower pots to look Mediterranean. But it is absolute dull and I gave it a try. The bricks are painted with Tamiya XF-64 Red Brown. Both paints result in a rough surface.

Next is a mortal wash made from light gray paint I use for concrete roads too. The mortal wash toned the terra cotta nice down.

And a final black wash had the expected effect on the bricks and toned the front down.

ps. If you do not like it at all I will call it a German layout in the area of Mainz at the river Rhine and the red building is made of local limestone
