Christopher,
Excellent work on the buildings.

Lovely brick and stone work Christopher. Coloration and texture is spot on.

Thank you for your comments. All of these kits are plaster. They are from Downtown Deco. I love these kits so much I have 30 more to build. I use a foam base. I use hydrocal plaster for the building foundations. I paint the base black then add AK asphalt to simulate the streets and parking lots. The sidewalks are also offered by Downtown Deco. All the plaster is sprayed using a white primer. As for the structures, I use water based paints bought at a local hobby store. The colors are watered down. Using a brush, I run the color over the castings until I get the desired look. I use three different colored paints on each building. I weather the buildings using either raw or burnt sienna. These buildings have not been weathered yet. I use my air brush for all the details on the structures as well as the doors and windows.
