Design Preservation Model - Laube's Linen Mill - Part 2a

On March 28, 2017, I purchased the following paint listed below from Model Train Stuff (http://www.modeltrainstuff.com).  My package arrived on April 1, 2017.

3 oz. Testors Spray Lacquer Paint Dullcote
1/2 oz. Model Master Pale Green
1/2 oz. Model Master Concrete
1/2 oz. Model Master Engine Black

Packaging
Again, I was pleased with the packaging but I doubt my items needed to be sent in an over-sized box filled with styrofoam peanuts.  I almost felt like a pirate on a treasure hunt.  I can understand sending a large box if I made a large enough order - which I didn't.  Getting off my soap box, the Model Master paint bottles were wrapped together in bubble wrap and the Testors Dullcote was wrapped separately in its own package.  This time, I didn't leave any special delivery instructions for the USPS carrier because I remember how well that worked last time.

Tools
As limited as I am with tools for model railroading, I did have a few that I thought would be useful to me.  A few years ago, I purchased a Woodland Scenics Scene-A-Rama kit from Micheal's in Southern Pines, NC for a failed kitbashed railbus that I wanted to display.  I found that the kit had a foam applicator brush which I thought would be better than using regular paintbrushes. I also found - what I can only describe as -  an old-school version of today's Third Hand with Tweezers.  I rescued this piece of equipment a few days after my girlfriend and I had a house fire back in January 2014.  I would later find the con in using this as it was fit for holding smaller pieces that were not heavy in weight.  I almost forgot to mention that I made another additional purchase but it wasn't through the Model Train Stuff website.  I was watching a video that I found on YouTube from user Southern8099 as he showed his construction process of Walton & Sons Lumber Company.  Early in the video, he showed how he separated his parts into cheap disposable foil pans for painting which I thought was a brilliant idea. In fact, I purchased a 2-pack for $1.00 from Maxway in Pembroke, NC on March 28, 2017.  This way I don't have to worry about making a mess - and I don't have to hear my girlfriend having a fit when I paint!

Painting
I selected the three wall sections that I wanted to use from the DPM Laube's Linen Mill structure kit.  Using masking tape, I sealed off the wall sections that I wanted to paint using Model Master Pale Green.  Overall, this didn't work out as well as I found that regular Masking Tape doesn't work as well as Painter's Tape.  I had to bite the bullet and painted the wall sections entirely Pale Green using a small foam applicator brush.

After allowing the wall sections to dry, I grabbed a 10/0 liner brush and began painting the windows using Model Masters Concrete.  I have to say that this part of the project was very time-consuming especially when there are thirty-six windows to carefully paint - I've only got fourteen painted so far.  Since I like to do my painting outside using natural light, I'm noticing that the sun is starting to go down in Maxton, NC. I'm going to have to call it a day for this project and attempt to finish it tomorrow.
