well my case is prooven now... that looks better because it looks more together with the grey and i think i like the more subtile color... a more faded looking color than such strong ones as seen before...

what do you think about that color?
Could work I think the off white works better though.
Sorry Galorn, I must have missed "why" you are making the color test patches?

No worries. Call me Sam if it helps (That being my actual first name.) I've just finished re graying the walls and attaching all the interior signage.
I still need to: make and attach the sandbag walls, Paint and place weapons emplacements Add the Bunker ID numbers Weather the thing.
As for bunker ID numbers what color would look better?
Yellow
White
Blue
or Green?

Thanks.
Signs are attached (to the interior) I need to do a little touch up of overspray, and add some "chips" to the painted signage then add exterior signs. Then add sandbags/weapon emplacements. Then weather everything.
On to the Pics.
"flat" exterior wall
"Cratered" Exterior wall
Signs, signs, everywhere are signs...

Oooh yeah! I like the white letters over the green stripe! Gives much more contrast than just white or black letters over gray.

- But you should give the stripe one more coat of paint next time, then weather both green and grey at the same time IMHO.

Vik, that is what we call "didn't think I'd need to tape there" LOL -
Just brush-fix the area with the thin ab paint - TRUST ME- it works WONDERS! - If you buy the BIG full set of Vallejo Air paints, it comes with some really nice sable brushes

AB paints? Foo, I've been using Craft Acrylic thinned down to flow. Word... (soo white I know... Specifically Ceramcoat, and Delta Color. Decent ratio is 1-2parts water to 1 part paint.) ATM I don't have the spare cash for lots of AB specific acrylics.... Yet...

Absolutely NOTHING has been "weathered" at all yet. I still need to make, paint , and attach the sandbag revetments, and paint and add weapons first.

The Green is a different green from the one I used in the bunker.
that IS exactly what makes it not my color choice.....
It was glue and pebbles ………..
I still like the blue
The bunker is looking great and the signs are a nice touch, the outside will look better with a but more detail added though, but overall love it.
I have found a cheap shop over here that stocks Vallejo paints, sells all kind of crap but when I saw the paints I was like wow and good price.
They stock sets of the AB paint are they worth the investments ? Or should I just continue to thin my normal acrylics ?

Well I've done a little "clean up" work. the numbers are looking good... but the green stripe looks a little odd due to the way the green pigment is layering on. at this point I have 3 options.
1 Re paint the wall to gray and restart (with multiple layers of Green to reduce the contrast for following clean up)
2 Mask off the Numbers and the non green portions of the wall and add layers of green to reduce contrast.
3 hand paint in green to a more consistent shading.
