It's remarkable what can happen when one is not distracted by the daily requirements of running a business.
In advance of an operating session this Saturday past, I felt motivated to finally get the station in Las Palmas built.
A rather simple structure after, 20' x 25'. 2 windows in the gable ends and 2 freight doors. What could be simpler?
Out came the styrene and within a couple of hours the model was assembled and ready for paint. Which is where the trial began
Tru-Color offers the 3 SP structure colours. But I have a major loathing for that brand of paint. It can be a battle to get it airbrush properly and forget about ever hand brushing it for touchups, etc.
So a search was started for acrylic alternatives.
AK Interactive Gen 3 has become my go to paint line for acrylic paints. Easy to use, brushes nicely, air brushes like a dream and the colour range is spectacular.
I visited Sunward Hobbies on Friday with paint samples in hand and found these 3 colours.
To my eye, these 3 colours are near perfect match for the SP colours. And I'm well aware that colour perception is hugely subjective. But I'm sticking with these.
The end result was a sweet little structure
