Looks really good Allen. If you have the eye for colour its hard to beat styrene that is beautifully painted and weathered and you clearly have the artists eye. I notice you mentioned on the blog the fading issue with Pan Pastels once they are Dullcoted, and I totally agree. Painting is the right approach if you can seal the masking tape so you don't get bleed under. The problem with the grout approach I used is the rough surface of the grout prevents a good seal when you tape. Great job.
