Sort of coal coloured Kev, as it would soon be totally covered in coal dust, including the ground and pretty much everything in close proximity, including people! Weathering powders (dark greys and blacks) over matt dark brown should produce some grimy realism. Have fun, Bill ____________________ At 6'4'', Bill is a tall chap, then again, when horizontal he is rather long and people often used to trip over him! . . . and so a nickname was born |

I think I might start with rail tie brown since these things were often built from worn out sleepers. After that, use powders to reflect the large quantities of coal dust and dirt. John ____________________ John |

Hi Kev, You've probably painted the bunker but just thought I would throw into consideration what I did with a similar Wills Kit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-bS68cBRQg Regards Connor ____________________ GWR is Wonderful. |

 This is my coal bunker - After priming, I used Colron woodstain, and then used a mixture of Dark Earth and White Humbrol weathering powders for most of the wood, then using Humbrol "Smoke" for the areas where heavy coal dust would build up. Looking at it, I could have used more "smoke" and got away with it!!! Not great pics.  ____________________ Ian Lancaster |
