Add these tombstones to your layout. If your name is on one, it is mere coincidence. There are rectangular, square and rounded tombstones, plus obelisks, crosses and spires. Kit includes: 20 metal castings What color paints were used on the Tombstone Kit to make it look like the picture in your catalog? The Scenic Details kit Tombstones was painted years ago and we do not have a record of the specific paint colors and techniques used. From what we can tell by the coloring of the Tombstones, paint colors in white, cream, gray, rust and black were used. Over the base coloring, a drybrush in black was applied to add highlights and enhance the cracks and crevices. We recommend using the Mini-Scene Paint Set for painting the Scenic Details kits. It includes paints in 12 different colors. The detailed instructions include information for preparing castings, painting and weathering tips, and suggestions for mixing unique colors. Use a very fine brush to paint the grave markings. How do I glue together metal castings? Always begin by washing the metal castings in warm, soapy water. Rinse well and let dry. This will remove any remaining mold release agent and allow the glue and paint to adhere better. Glue Metal Castings with fast-setting epoxy or cyanoacrylate adhesive (super glue). When using super glue, a good bond depends on surface contact. Super glue is not filler-type glue. Use sparingly, too much glue will make a poor bond. Apply a tiny drop onto one of the parts being glued, then hold parts together for about 10 seconds. For larger Castings, hold parts together and apply a small drop of glue where parts meet. Capillary action allows the glue to seep into the contact area, creating a strong bond. Allow glue to dry completely before moving to the next construction step. If the metal castings were painted prior to assembly, be sure to scrape paint off glue points.
