Painting Marvel Crisis Protocol With 144Artist
Apartment Approaches Completion
I’ve been working on one of the NYC Apartment kits lately. Despite the size it is actually pretty quick to paint. I left the window frames off to paint separately when I assembled it as it seemed easier to dry brush that way. I was correct, it was much easier to make the brick look good without having to work around or repaint the window frames. I use thick, craft paint to cover terrain pieces. I will apply 3-4 different colors next to each other (not mixed) on the pallet, dip my huge dry brush, and wipe off most of the color, and apply in circular motions. I will refill the brush from what I wiped off before returning to the pallet. I start dark and work to light usually in three applications. I have found that if I work on each side of the building by the time I’ve covered all four sides with their first coats they are dry enough of the next.
I will be shooting more pictures this weekend.
Here is the front with the beginning base coats
Here it is pretty much finished.
One side of the building with base coats, note the window frames have one layer of grey.
Second coats but mostly the second, lighter grey highlighting the window frames makes a huge difference.
Bad lighting but here is the finished back of the building. I glue on the window frames, fire escapes, and electrical boxes after sealant has been applied.
