I painted the wheels Cinnamon brown with black Bragdon powders applied. The running boards are painted Folkart barnwood which looks really good as weather beaten wood. I used my usual PanPastel raw umber shade and red iron oxide extra dark on the roofing. The sides are left lightly weathered with some PanPastel colorless blender to fade the sides down a bit and raw umber shade on the doors and lower areas. PanPastel Paynes grey extra dark (almost black) highlight areas of the doors, roof edges and side ladders...George Dutka
PanPastels used on this project. The PanPastels really tone down the roof tones. |
