I would tend to grey tones as well, black can be too hard.

I'm really liking the gray green tones. Hmm.

In the meantime, speaking of colors...

How do you all feel about this retaining wall here?
I'm not sure if I really like the concrete base color or hate it.

Grey flows a little more with the general vibe.

 I don't like the color, needs to be more beige. Go with aged concrete and dirty it up a lot.

Cool. I'm glad I'm not alone.

For reference: it was the Krylon "Camo Paint" tan.

I think I'm finally done screwing with the I83 bridge.

New piers are installed. Then moved (I got two of them them like 1mm too close to the tracks).



At the suggestion of my "Railwire Bois" text group I added a third one up front. It was a good idea.

Yeah Ian, I thought that's what I was using too and gave me the color I didn't like.

I'll have to go check the can.
