“Berlin 1945” diorama – Part 3:Painting

4/25/2020

The entire model was sprayed with black acrylic paint from a can.
Then, to serve as an initial colour for the road grout, I sprayed the roadway with a beige colour.
After this the roadway and pavement was dry brushed with Vallejo Model Color “Basalt Grey” (70869) or “London Grey” (70836).
The drains and manhole cover were painted with Vallejo Model Color “Black Grey” (70862).
To add variation, individual stones on the road and pavement were painted with the LifeColor “Stone Grey” set.
The buildings were painted with the LifeColor “Stone Grey”, “Debris and Rubble” and “Dust and Rust” sets.
The doors and window frames were painted with Vallejo Panzer Aces “Old Wood” (310), LifeColor “Dark Wooden Stock” (UA729), Vallejo Model Color “Black Grey” (70862) and Citadel “Leadbelcher”.
After this the entire model was painted with Humbrol “Clear” gloss varnish, in readiness for the application of oil paints.
