We've started our diorama for our upcoming large limited run kit for release this fall.For now we'll just refer to the kit as TGD. While we're including some waterfront scenery, it's not a waterfront kit. It's just what we prefer to model...in this diorama and others I've been using more and more oil paints to color scenery. Usually I would stain rock work with alcohol and ink and dry brush using acrylic browns and grays. But I've come to prefer oil colors as they just appear richer in depth and blend more naturally with each other. I've also use it to paint the darker areas of the water surface blending it in with the green acrylic latex paint. The track has also been colored with oils. Primer is sprayed first, then the sides of the rails are painted rust - then raw umber for the ties. Once that's done a wash of thinner blends it all together.
The kit will be a multi-structure kit, with a theme related to some previously released kits...stay tuned.
