The only building sections that require masking are the silo
base and silo support columns. Fortunately, I was able to touch
up the base with a brush after applying the white to the silo
support columns. After getting a full coat of white on each build-
ing, I sprayed the entire
model with Testors
Dullcote directly from a
can, since the Dullcote
won’t hide details like
paint. This is also the
simplest way to get full
coverage and provide a
base coat for weather-
ing the structure with
the artist oil paints.
Once the main struc-
ture is painted, I gave
the feed bin a coat of
Floquil High Gloss in
preparation for the
Agway Decals. The
decals themselves
are available from
Highball Graphics
as a
special-order option.
While not listed on
his website, owner
Jim Abbott was kind
enough to provide me
a few full-size sets that
38
38. The completed main
structure with several light coats
of raw umber, burnt umber,
burnt sienna, and raw sienna
dry-brushed over the feed bin to
capture the look of the prototype
as it should have appeared in the
early 1980s.
