...mostly because I wanted to see how long it took, and where the pitfalls were.
Mostly, the fact that greyboard soaks up a LOT of paint, and you don't see the final colour till it dries, and cut edges just don't take paint. I need to do the roof bottom edge again. Probably more than once.
With hindsight I'd give serious thought to pre-spraying everything possible before starting gluing stuff :D
Anyway, here we are. I also cut back the sepia wash on a few test street pieces with 200 grade sandpaper and added some AK slime green bits. Not doing any more this week - Dux Compendium tomorrow.
