Sweet! That is a deal. Thanks for the pointer.
I usually paint te brick faces first with enamel paints, then I use acrylic paints for a mortar wash. Afterwards I go back with a small brush (HO scale) or a toothpick (N scale) to paint the cast concrete or stone accents, the windows, doors, and the shop front. It’s time consuming, but the end result is a carefully painted building with very precise color lines.

I paint the insides of mine with black acrylic craft paint (it’s nice and cheap). Then I mask and spray the primary colors of the brick and storefront with PS acrylics. The windows and accents are done with a small brush under a magnifier.
Really nice job, Doug. [Y]
Take Care! [:D]

Thanks for the compliment Frank. Like Rich, I’ve been looking for a way to ease the pain of painting the window frames. I finally accepted that it just takes time.
I spent 20 years as a tooling designer, most of the time working under deadlines. I’m not hurrying myself anymore[8D]
Doug,
Yeah, they say patience is a virtue. I usually have at least four projects going on at once. Most all my building have interiors and I have found ways to be able to take the total interior out, including lights to work on it at the bench. None of the buildings are fastened down, they just look like it and that takes some base engineering to accomplish. So I some times say to myself as others have said to me over the years, I did not waste my Engineering Machine Design degree, by owning and driving trucks for a living. I use it on my Models. LOL.
I just love retirement…if only my vehicle holds out. (body)
Take Care! [:D]
