Might have been a pain but it looks wicked man.
My only thought isif you were to crush a few rust pigments into that rust color later on - randomly and not too heavy, just to give it a bit more variety in spots it might look double wicked. Don't be afraid to push even a bit more. It's really good man.

Started on the cab and bed today.
- I primed, then attacked both with the dremel.
- Red brown + flat brown/white for the the rust coat.
- I brushed water into the attacked areas and then used a handheld salt grinder to place random salt on the various surfaces.
- Followed that with white for the top coat. For the final misting I add three drops of buff which made is really off white but I think it works.

After a maddening attempt to create tire chains with the bead/yarn store chain purchase, I gave up and ordered this Voyager kit off eBay.
Voyager 1:35 WWII US Jeep Willys MB Snow Plow with Tire Chains PEA185
The photos they supply are a little misleading, as it looks like you're getting a lot of PE for your money, when in fact it's just the tire chains and front plow.
Since this PE set is actually designed for Tamiya's Willys Jeep, it's actually a little smaller than I need it to be for my rubber Meng wheels.
The chain length doesn't wrap around the tire as it's supposed too, but I'm thinking I can just glue the end in place and hope that it's not noticed.
And here it is after a soaking in Blacken It.
