Concrete Coaling tower - help to get the colour right
Hello Guys and gals
I'm now building a 1920's Midland Railway design Coaling tower to the same design (more or less) to the one that was at Rowsley MPD -17D.
I have roughed up a prototype to prove my measurements and will use the dimensions on a thick card model (this one is corrugated card so is solid)
I am at present trying to get a colour right for concrete that's about 40 years old and gets covered in steam and smoke regularly.
I have ONLY got Acrylic and Gouache paints available as well as a few rather old Humbrol paints but they don't go well on card
The prototype is in the photo's this will not be the model used
