Scratch-built Buildings Part 4

Update

I've been furiously busy with home + work-life and losing sleep but I got some updates worth showing.  See Part 3 at http://matter-energy-space-time.blogspot.com/2012/11/scratchbuilt-buildings-part-3.html

The status is that I've got four buildings assembled and I need to paint them.  I sprayed them down with Krylon H20 Black Primer because I'm using pink styrene for my chimneys and foundations.  The Krylon latex primer will not melt the styrene.  I still use matte black primer (not H20) for trouble spots because some areas in my constructs don't take well to the latex such as the doors, windows, the ABR plasti-struct spars, and many areas with the glue-gun glue.

Here's the set of pictures thus far; there will be more soon!

All four buildings and roofs primed with Krylon H20 Black  

Experimenting with base colors.  The technique is to
brush downwards from the top of the roof.

The brown roof had a chestnut ink wash stroke
 downwards and then a cream paint dry-brush upwards.

The slate roof had a blue ink wash stroke downwards
followed by a light gray paint dry-brush upwards.

The emerald roof had a base of gray paint
followed by a green ink wash, and then a
dry-brush using cream.

One building has a base-coat of cream.

One building has a base-coat of white.

One building had a base-coat of light-yellow.
I intentionally left more of the primer appearing
above the boarded-up windows to plan for
the aftermath of a legacy smoke + fire.

The last building I painted with two different colors.

As an added bonus, my daughter's house has
deep purple and orange (not visible) exterior
paints.  I'm teaching her the craft.

That's her voodoo monkey.
