i bought this a while back and only just decided to paint it. Do you think that this is a good colour for an base coat? its a little lighter in person, but I'm not sure if this would fit the needs of this type of building. Thanks!

I find the white speckling quite strange. Was that intended as zenithal highlighting?

You said it's a base coat, so it's hard to judge without knowing what your further plans are. The white does look more like accidental overspray, so I'm not sure what effect you'll be aiming for.

If you're trying to make the whole thing look like rusty metal, I suggest going much darker. Then dark rust colored washes over everything, then light rust washes in smaller areas, then to fish it off, dry brush over everything with a little bit of gunmetal. You could then pick out details with other colors, like brass for the skull, etc.
