Coat of white paint on the steps, after they had been cleaned up.
The colour info says Humbrol 120 light green - so looking at conversion charts this is vallejo 76 sky green - but it looks toooooo light to me.
So will try the Ratnik digital colouring and if not happy will overpaint with 74 intermediate green and then try the digital pattern on this - whatever I end up with somebody will say its wrong - but do I care  ::) ::) ::) ::)

Pattern done but not happy with the brown - to much of a contrast to the green. Back to the internet and redo the research on uniforms and throw out the kit instructions.  And this is all before I start on the face -- good job they all have masks on - saves Howard  job shouting at me - hohhoho

The top of the steps and the top section of the building have been drilled out to have a grip on the pillars - have seen that the drill has also made a smaller hole in the wood to located the drill. So have decided to drill out the pillars and add a small nail , so that the head of the nail will fit into the small hole and give it some extra strength - well thats the plan at the moment.

All put together - when dry and solid needs a little bit of filler
