😂ok back at it... I prepared one window as a test phollowing following moreless the same procedure as I did to finish the roof gutter. Just before weathering stages the window looks crackly but not as heavily worn.

Thank you meisterful chaps.☺️ Crackled paint : 1) apply a Vallejo wood brown shade in two handbrushed coats, 2) spray or brush on Vallejo Chipping Fluid, 3) airbrush on Vallejo Air white, 4) dryblow with hot air, NOT from melting/bending distance, the crackling sets in, 5) brush on a minimum of water, 6) pick, dab...until you get the desired effect, 7) protect with a coat of Tamiya Gloss Clear, Let dry thoroughly between each step and weather it up. One down, four to go.😮💨

I had a lot of benchtime and the windows, the wall joints, the sandstone window frames, granite etc. are moreless finished. Algae effects were brushed on sparingly. I also retouched the rusty balustrade. I still have a lot of job ahead but I'm having a blast with this thing.

Thanks Paul-bro.
This Gunphire site building is a phormer cavalry stable (1900), I think it could be a next year's project (not the whole thing, just a section oph it).
