Okay, so... I opened up the box containing my "Merchant's Row II" kit, and found that the buildings are molded in this odd... orange/bronze/rust-ish color. Which is not a problem, as I anticipated re-painting the kit anyway. My question is, however... Can any of you guys suggest a good color to simulate "Cream City Brick?" That tan-ish, limestone-ish colored brick that gave Milwaukee the nickname "The Cream City." Here's a close-up example I found online... http://www.bricksalvage.com/images/Milwaukee_Cream_City_wall.jpg Maybe a little Floquil "Depot Buff" mixed with some "Aged Concrete?" I'd welcome any suggestions.
I think depot buff is the way to go you might also try mud But I would try dry brushing aged concrete or white as opposed to mixing IF your not comfortable with dry brushing you could also use a very thin wash and apply until you get what you want then give everything a spray of alcohol and india ink to blend it all together HOPE THIS GIVES YOU SOME IDEAS
