I kind of want to get a stone like texture effect on this building.

Kind of thought using a bit of sponge to stipple a sandy colour over grey may give me a cool effect so gave it a go.

Started by painting the whole thing grey with the biggest brush I could find. I chose grey over black as I thought it would work better in the areas the sponge could not reach with the lighter colour giving a cool amount of shading with little effort on my part

Next up I sponged it over with zandri dust which is a nice thick paint, the sponge adds a bit of texture. Be careful not to let it get too saturated or it splodges.

Now it gets a good old drybrush with bleached bone to pick out the edges and pipework

Once that was fully dry I painted Any metal parts with vallejo German grey and painted the edging with vallejo deck tan

The last bits I had to do was to satin varnish the walls then go over any metal parts with vallejo chain mail, then Once that was dry I added some chipping effects with a sponge and some German grey lightly splodging it about. The computer screens were painted white then painted over with a light green followed by some gloss varnish.last but not least I painted the lights yellow followed by some gloss varnish

Adding some washes. Had a go with mig starship acrylic wash, for this building I painted lines on with an old brush and used a damp cotton bud to create streaks of grime.
