Rusty M4 half track

[Eastrock]

sometimes you just need to get some wind and enjoy the outdoors, to make us refresh... but suddenly we sometimes see's rust creeping around... it may be a can or a pole... that keeps the fire burning

Got slightly burnt out the past few months plus other priorities at the moment. Might be a couple of weeks til I'm in the swing of things again.

The contest starts in like three days bro!

Rest up, you got lots to do dood. ;D

 

[scratchmod]

Not much for time, or mojo for that matter..but I did get the chipping done and started on the first layer of rust filters. I'll be switching between acrylics and oils for the rusting in order to get the layers and dimension to the rust. There will be lots of weathering, rusting and in the end slime green...so this is going to be an old scrap heap when done.

First layer applied .

Chipped but no rust filter, just to show the diff.

Finally a shot of the front end.

Keeps getting better and better Rob! Getting good-n-beat! ;D

Excellent! Very realistic. Must have took you some time to do this eh?

 

[scratchmod]

Thanks guys. T here are some shots on the chassis with the rust and streaking done.

So like I said this is an HT rotting away some place. I started adding some green slime to the model. It's still wet so I'll let it dry a day then go back and remove some excess. Once the green is done I'll add more weathering to darken the green and blend things together.

Sometimes you just have to go for it and experiment....in this case with green slime.

Hey guys, glad you like it so far. Scott I agree, it looks like crap ;D ;D This has to be the most time I have spent weathering a rust bucket, but I'm having fun messing around.
