Here I leave first thing I did after that holidays. I think I need some climating, because what I've tried has not had the results he expected.
Returning to the episode of the pavement, a layer of gray di Panzer before we go to Malaga (Spain)....
... Yesterday I began to characterize the pavement.
The original intention was to fill the holes between cobbles with a sandy tone (with the help of pigments). But I have all but fill the gaps...
I got a sandy tone chromatic variety for the top of the cobbles, but among them there is no trace of the pigments.
Consulting to my friends, each of them has given me a possible solution. But it will be a matter of trying to achieve the desired result.
Any idea or suggestion is welcome.
Where I had no problem has been on the sidewalks. With the help of the pigment Panzer Grey Fade by Mig Production, I managed to clarify and give a touch of wear that I like. I even managed to fill the joints with no problems.
See you!
Yago.

Now, I think I've reached a point where I can take two options:
1 . Leave it as I have now...
2 . Redo all the pavement and start all the painting process and characterization.
Fill the gaps with a paste of plaster color woodwork is pine (like sand-color) that had at home. But when it comes to phase out the excesses, I saw that he was lifting the pigments that had been placed earlier. I gave a grayish color ( pigment ) widespread over the whole surface.
And this would be the end result would be obtained after making a pass on a slight Thinner past I have made with pigment "Panzer Grey - Fading".
I got these two photos to see the change before and after applying the thinner bath.
I do not know whether to say "I hope you like it". After trying several ways I have not got the results he had in mind. To see if I get cold mind to think something that might be satisfactory. For now I will end this month with the thinner and then we'll see.
See you!

Hi there.
It looks great! Artists of all types have a tendency to not be satisfied with their work because it seldom matches the vision they have of it in their heads. This is why there are so many incomplete works of art in the world. Do not be too hard on yourself.

Yago , I like the lighter washes , better than the darker look .
The darker color in the recesses bring out the surface pavement .
Tankbuilder's right we never seem to be satisfied with the results that were once percolating in our melons before the build !!!
All in all a fantastic project .

Hi Yago
I agree with Chuk this is looking really good now.
I would try and vary it too. We have cobbles down our lane (honest)and they look different all the time depending on if it has rained, how much dust is/was in the air, what has been parked in certain areas for longer than other areas, areas under trees, against walls etc etc. They do seem to change daily. keep up the good work. Also as the ground underneath them has settled over time they have lumps and dips in their overall appearence.

Hi Yago
I thought these might help put your mind at rest. I think the similarity is uncanny.

Well after a week almost stopped, I could retake the diorama at the same spot where he had left.
After applying some advice you gave me, I gave several coats of clear pigment randomly across the cobblestone, then logically I used an earthy color in the vicinity of culverts and other transit areas of paving...
A final application of this earthy tone to simulate the mud falling debris in the street...
When painting the gutters, I shall apply also something of pigments in them for continuity.
Hope you like it.
See you soon with more things.
