eaking windows, peeling paint, you name iteverything is used. Dirt, too.Brickwork, I want to look like brick. Most peoplethrow on a dab of paint and rub it in the groovesfor grout. But brick has texture and color variations,If you have all one color, it doesn’t look real. Ittakes a lot of work, creativity and experimentation.A lot of time I’ll do things over and over and overagain until I get it right.OST: Thanks for taking your time to talk with us.RA: My pleasure.Notes on the lead photo: That’s the Colt building.That’s where the first Colt guns, the PattersonColts, were built. That building which is now aburned out two story structure is still in Pattersonand the city of Patterson wanted a model of it built.Reed built it on order for the Patterson Museum. ◆At left: A partial view of an enormous coaling station Reed custombuilt for a customer. it is so big that it is difficult to get all of it into onephoto.
