Project Corner Part 2:

It’s time for the next installment of Project Corner. Continueing with the Downtown Deco building kit, we left off last time with th wall sections being glued together with a foam board backing. Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures of the next couple of steps.

A few days later, when the glue was dry, I cut the foam board around the wall sections, then sprayed a coat of grey grey Rust-oleum primer. The instructions say that adding a primer before painting helps keep the future coats of paint from “soaking” into the plaster too much. Plaster is very absorbant.

Then, I taped off sections of the individual walls and gave them light spray coats (also Rust-Oleum) of white, red, and orange.

This dried for a week or so until I was able to work on the project again.

Today I brush painted the black stripe on the white brick wall, and painted some washes of grey, black and burnt umber on various wall sections.

The plastered areas of this section need some work!

This is the wall section after today’s painting session. I will let it dry and get back to it in a few days. Next time I will paint the doors, highlight some cracks, joints and plastered areas, then add some more washes to the whole project.

Stay tuned for part 3.
