Clear colors you applied, what colors are they?

They are very nice progress, waiting for the paint and weathering.

Thanks T ...Sorry bro ,had to cover that colour up :

Richard ,thanks buddy . The colour is Tamiya ...I mixed Flat Brown with a touch of Red until I was happy with it ,I really dont know what ratio as I always mix by eye .

Anyhoo ,I put on a couple of coats of Hairspray ,let it dry then mixed up some pigs in a drop of water to make a paste ,I applied the paste where I want blistered areas ....as in ,where the rust is growing up underneath the paint and the paint bubbles up ,you cant see it well in these pics but you'll see it later




Right ,I got some paint to pick off now ;D

Thanks for looking.

Chris.

[Quaralane]

Looks almost like metal there. Excellent work with that rust effect

 

[Chris S]

Thanks CT & Q

A little explaination of how I've achieved the heavy rust .

I used a technique which is new to me ...actually I've never seen it done . Its basically the same as the Salt & Hairspray tech except the salt is swapped for rust coloured Pigments . Once the Hairspray is applied I mixed some pigs with a drop of water to make up a paste ,this paste is then applied where I want heavy rust . I let it dry then apply the paint in the normal way ,Then using water and an old brush gently scrub away at the areas I want to remove paint ,The pigments will also come away leaving the Brown undercoat and a wash of rust pigs .
Its the first time I've tried it and I will be using it again ;D









Thanks for looking.

Chris.

 

[TRM]

Great Job Chris!! You are achieving some really sweet results my friend!

 

[Chris S]

Thanks T ....This time I can blame you & Rob ;D ;D ;D

[scratchmod]

Looking sweet so far Chris, very realistic results with the technique. Must be a chipping virus going around....got the 152 all chipped up myself.

 

[Chris S]

Rob ... ;D Makes a change it not being my fault ;D ;D Yeah I saw the 152 ....nice !
