Somewhere SW of London. Somewhen before today

Some remarkable effects you've created there Rick.  

How did you do the concrete panels - they look brilliant.  :thumbs  also, the steps - or rather, the handrails look excellent - a steady hand required with a strong loupe I think……..

Did the well endowed lady in the yellow dress catch her train ?  Did you have to do some surgery to get her to climb the steps ?

I applied a base coat of Woodland Scenics “Earth Undercoat” then mixed Railmatch “Concrete” paint with a tiny amount of Peco “Ash” from their weathering pack together on the palette first rather than applying direct to the plastic.  The paint and ash mix alone didn’t give enough coverage hence the undercoat. 

Once dry I then brushed some weathering powders over the paint; grey over almost everywhere to de-gloss the paint and age it. Then rust and green. That was all blended to give a near-finished result completed when I used a dry-brushing technique to highlight some of the texture in black and rust. 

Finally the individual components were glued to a card strip for rigidity and then fitted to the layout. Note that the use of a card backing meant I had to cut the square-section posts vertically in half to avoid them standing too proud of the surface. A task which required careful use of the scalpel.
