Thanks for commenting.
I have no testors paint and I called the LHS. He can get it but not on the shelf today.
The weathering and stains will be coming down the line but thanks for the reminder.
Cement color, I can’t seem to find anything decent online for cement silos to use as a reference. Most of the pictures are of really old stuff in Buffalo, Duluth, Thunder Bay and Superior and I am not looking for ancient but maybe 10-15 year old stuff. Terry the wife and a big supporter of me being in the train room rejected as too grayish the latest 3 examples. Most of the real life cement in our area is rather new and hasn’t aged to a color i like. I think this is one of those, I will know it when I see it. The next paint samples I am going to mix up and apply to styrene with a sponge, maybe the texture isn’t right. Yes, I am over thinking this.
