(...) Thanks, Kevin. Yes, the two brown buildings use both new and old brown together. I think it add a little something to the buildings. I also use old gray and bley together quite often for buildings, sidewalks and retaining walls. I think they (...) (19 years ago, 22-Mar-06, to lugnet.town)

--SNIP-- (...) I heard of someone (can't remember who) stocking up on low quality used bricks to use for that sort of thing. It's certainly a cheap way to add texturing. Another possibility would be to use stickers for graffiti but that depends on (...) (19 years ago, 20-Mar-06, to lugnet.town)
