'Features of the Month:
As many of you know I am a "natural plastic guy" which means I do not paint my figures. Heck, I normally don't
paint anything! However, when I got this new Newray farmhouse I was not thrilled with the colors-butterscotch
and brown. So I dusted off the old brushes and craft paints and experimented with a "crackle medium" which
makes the top coat of paint "crack" and gives the farmhouse an old weatherbeaten look. I must admit I was very
impressed with the final results. After making a few of these I put them on ebay and sold out right away. I then
decided to do one in a medium gray and antique white (had a yellow tint) but the color schemes just did not look
right. So I decided to stay with the color that is shown in these pictures. It's a satin beige color.
Although I normally do not paint items I occasionally do a few for my personal collection or for props that I use in
my ebay pictures. If anyone would like to know the paints and process I used on this farmhouse please feel free to
email me at gmdutko@comcast.net. Until then, ENJOY THE PICS!!!
