Here's another basic question. I've bought a few city building kits to learn some weathering and aging techniques. If I screw them up in the process, so be it, but I need to learn. Some of the pictures I've seen here are so realistic I hope I can come close to that someday.
But anyway, my question is: how can I get realistic looking grout and a natural appearence to brick buildings. I've tried "washing" the walls with gray acrylic then wiping it before it drys hoping the paint stays in the grout lines, but it doesn't. I seem to do a fair job with aging by using an ink/alcohol wash, but the results aren't as natural as I think they should be, especailly after seeing all your pictures.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm working in N scale.
