That's a great-looking building, Ray. Looking forward to seeing how you paint and weather it.

You're putting a lot of good work into this one Ray! I would never have thought of adding the lead on the roof!

Cant thank you all enough for the encouragement, its all very much appreciated.
So I got the basic colour scheme sorted, and after looking at tarnished lead, and a quick read up it seems it weathers leaving a white oxide on it, so a touch of grey oil wash, then just some greyish white pastel powders dabbed on it, fixed with iso, so here how the basics look,.
Now its time to get the basics done on the inside, then I can flat coat it and start to beat it up a tad and get it weathered in, and try and get it all to blend together.
The exposed brick work needs to be broke up a bit, but will get to that when the weathering starts.
Thanks for reading.

Looking very good Ray, I like how you've done the weathering on the lead. Just shows the beauty of t'internet, no need to climb onto someone's roof!

"Excuse me, sir! What are you doing on my roof?!"
"Oh, don't worry about me. Just doing some research..."

You dont want to make the lead look too real Ray....
