Re: Calamity's Newspaper Office - Painting Time!

A little paintwork, with a considerable amount of experimentation. I'm not sure I'm happy with the results so far so I'll let it sit for a few days before I come back to it.

Here is a pic from the front, and you can find the whole sequence that got me to this result on my blog.

This building is finished...for now. Some additional work will be done when I start working on the board and it gets put on a base. I want to be sure that everything blends together on the board so some things are best left till later.

I couple pictures here and a few more on my blog along a discussion on some of the lessons I learned and will apply to future builds for Calamity.

That looks great, especially the distressed paint.  Are you going to add a sign?

It will get a sign at some point, but probably not until I work out the final details of the board. It may not even be the Newspaper office in the end! I'm experimenting with a couple of different ways to do signs at this point. When I figure out which one works best that will probably be the trigger for a whole bunch of signs!
