Moving to the workbench, I felt I should build the wall complex and paint it before trying to integrate it into the scenery. I cut the retaining wall at the angles determined on the site where I had mocked everything up. Then I pinned and glued them together, keeping everything straight and plumb. Here I am beginning to put different colors on the stones to get a variegated look.
I am using mixes of acrylic colors I made from umbers, yellow and oxide reds.
I am into my third color and am trying to tie them all together. It is rather tedious but beginning to look okay.
This is the complete assembly with the addition of the wing wall. I have more blending to do as the right wall is more red than the rest.
Getting close. I began to do over-sprays with rain brown and then grimy black. We will see how it looks on the layout.
