| | | | (...) Thanks! (...) This is precisely the feel I am going for. Excellent link! I just can't bring myself to paint the lego bricks though. (graffiti, burn/smoke marks etc.) I might give a shot at that Bronx auto building with a light yellow body and (...) (19 years ago, 20-Mar-06, to lugnet.town)

| | | | (...) What I did for the gray building is us a few old gray bricks here and there. The rest is bley. I like the way it looks. I am thinking that down the road I will want to add signage and things and may include graffiti stickers along with that. I (...) (19 years ago, 20-Mar-06, to lugnet.town)

| | | | (...) 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)
