The top rung of the railing on a well used ladder will develop a polished look even when painted because of the constant rubbing of hands and gloves across the surface.
I guess I understand what you mean. In my mind's eye iIt's a aubergine-violet-brown hue with a slight metallic shine - something like that:  Hmm, very difficult to archieve, but let's try tomorrow!

Maybe some soot and graphite powder, rubbed to the surface with your finger may work? I'd try that at some residue because color won't stick to that later on.

I'll make it. If I have to fly the five feet like a birdie.
I'll fly it. I'll make it.

At the left ladder it's clearly visible and it looks good!

And here a last pic from the scaffold on back side, taken on my balcony in the last evening light. Now it's time to go back to the workbench. Next step will be the bank wall and two wooden gangways that connect the pillar with the riverbank. That will take some time!

Extremely fascinating work! I think this must be the most original modelling project I have ever seen.

I love that last photo! The machinery, the masonry, the water, and all the debris at the bottom are very convincing!

An excellent look at an excellent model!
In my mind's eye it's a aubergine-violet-brown hue with a slight metallic shine Peter Yes, I know what you mean, I often see the same coloration on old manhole covers and similar items.

The photo with the guide wheel and lashing ring beside it show very clearly how unpainted iron takes on a shiny patina from the constant rubbing of the ropes passing over it. Most of the parts of your model tend to make one think you are taking photos of the real thing and trying to pass them as a model.

Hello Thank you all for your motivating words! As I have to do some wooden planked gangways now, I wanted to share my first attempts in painting wood. The planks are only placed loosely! I know, there are several threads here on weathering wood, but I must confess -to my shame - I was trying to find my own way (mostly due to the lack of appropriate ingredients i.e. SilverWood).  Any proposals or criticisms are welcome!

The wood looks great! As I have no access to Silverwood myself, I would love to hear about your techniques in more detail.
