Last year I built the
Wood Water Tank kit.
Here's a description of how I did it:
Colours:
Polly scale: 'DRGW building cream', 'DRGW building brown', 'railroad tie brown' (for the roof) and 'roof brown' for the supporting structure.
The tank itself, made up of 6 parts! (the Atlas version is 2 halves) , has been painted with many washes of 'boxcar red', 'railroad tie brown' and 'grimy black'.
The 'aged concrete' has been given a light wash of 'grimy black'
The bands I've painted with Humbrol 'gun metal'. This process took for ever with a 00 brush.
Most parts assembled
