I'll give the thinned out emulsion thing a blast and see what results I get ........ Then if I think it needs it ....... I'll try a brown wash over it or part of it? ....... I have some "Ochre" oil I can use that........

I have some patch pots that I have used in the past, work well. Doesn't matter what you get down as long as you get the desired look. The wall on the SW dio I did is thinned black oil paint and then other oils dabbed on and sponged off to get the look.Originally posted by \Comment

Finished ............ and I'm proper happy with it. A couple of thinned down coats of grey matt emulsion and a brown oil wash ......... I picked out the larger cracks and potholes with the wash and lightly sponged a few of areas, I didn't want to "over cook it" ....... The one darker patch(top right on the first photo) I've done is going to be where the barrier is on the road block ........ So that's my next job.
Big thanks to all you guys that offered help and advice.
Peter

Thanks Terry ...... Yes I'm very happy with it. It's been proper educational........... I'm wondering if once it dries out if I ought to give it a "Matt Coat" or just leave it as is????Originally posted by \
I'm doing this build the other way round to how I normally do things. I normally build the model first then by the time I get to thinking about a dio, I just cobble something together as I can't generate the enthusiasm for it ........... Once I finish this I can start on the Tiger and Figures.

bit late with see your result on this one,sorry,but see that Ron has come along so all is good,
very nice do like it,a natural crack is better than a unnatural on,even if more,
do like the color as Ron,with out the sealer coat you do get diffidence shading of the gray in the cracks and holes,

try a coat of 50% 505 PVA as a sealer and see how that stands up to being dull, coat,
