Thanks guys :)

Took the weekend to build some terrain with my son. Here is what came of it (please bear with the loading time, my site seems to be rather sluggish at the moment (again >:():











Started on a third building, too. I used some insulation material called "Selitron" instead of MDF as interior structure, which so far I quite like.

Hitman, I used mainly four colours for the doors, Vallejo Model Color Stonewall Grey as base colour, drybrushed with VMC Pale Sand, washed very thinly with black. For the rust I use Parasite Brown, blended into the base color. Try to use vertical brush strokes to simulate the rust washing down. Last come dents and scratches, using two shades of red-brown. I painted two thin lines, the upper one in the darker shade, the lower one much lighter. That's basically it.

Again, very nice and unusual colour-choice on that one! :o

So far, we can only guess what kind of business the Hauptbüro belonged to. Any hints? Or is there a cunning scheme behind all this...?

Zafarelli;
Thank you very much. I will try it out on an old airplane hangar that I have sitting in the closet and wishing I knew how to paint it. I understand Grimm did one similar, so I'll try to find his website again for additional assistance.
Regards,

 :o Absolutely brilliant - the very subtle colouring really brings it to life. Excellent!

That´s totally awesome - captures the feel perfectly. I´m currently doing an internship at BP´s Gelsenkirchen refinery plant, and the building my office is situated in was built in 1940, and apart from being far more tidy and well-kept, looks just like that...

... I just realise it doesn´t really look just like that, now that I´ve eliminated the rubble und untidyness - but the style is spot on.
