Can you give a brief (or longer if you feel up to it) description on how you achieved the colouring on your bone/sandy buildings?
Looks fantastic.

Ok, it was a while ago when I did this so you will have to forgive me if this isnt quite it. An undercoat of chaos black from a spraycan is the starting point once you have cleaned of any excess resin. Give the piece a once over with warm water and a littlely abbrasive detergent and an electric toothbrush to remove any of the stuff left over from casting.
So here goes, firstly I used scorched earth in a kind of drybrush technique that a mate taught me. You take a piece of polished surface tile and put a little paint on it. You then work your brush back and forth through the paint for a few minutes, it will become quite sticky to touch, at thi point work the paint over the building in a drybrushing technique.
Repeat this process with successive layers of bubonic brown to lightne the coulor scheme. Once this has dried and that will be reasonably quick as the paint is about half dry by the time you apply it. Hit it with bleached bone and watch it transfor to a sandstone effect.
The next thing we did was to give it a very light wash of black ink and water to add the detail back to cracks and the like. From here the intent is to the go back and revisit the windos and do some stainedglass work using colours and inks and to paint the doors. The roof will be finished with a tar effect once I get around to it.
Anyway I hope that helps and I hope I have remembered everything that we did.
Cheers
