My trusty hot-wire cutter comes through with the goods again.I've opted to paint the block-houses in GW "Boltgun Metal" washed over with some burned sienna as a light tarnish and to add some definition on the corrugations.
I decided on this approach as there was no information really on whether the blockhouses had been painted or no. Besides, I squinted at some poor quality, black-and-white internet images for long enough to convince myself they were bare metal!

Not painting the metal would certainly minimize the logistical complication of carting tins of paint to the site - unless the sheets were pre-painted. To see if it worked, what you could try now is taking a photograph in black & white under a bright light! Personally, I think there's some colour there - perhaps a white wash (and, if so, who's to contradict a b&w photo), slightly reminiscent of the colours used on pre-dreadnought battleships? Sorry, to be a party pooper.
