Ok ..just to put a smile on Robs face ;D

Havent had much benchtime over the weekend ,but I spent a little time playing with rust
I think the pics will show you where Im heading with this one ;D ,Im only getting started on the rust ,just the one side nearly done .





To create the heavy rust ,all I used was some Raw Umber oil paint and AK Interactive light rust pigments .
The oil paint is brushed on to areas that I wanted rusted ,then the pigments are stippled into the oil paint while it is wet ,doing this produces a range of colours of rust depending on how much of the pigment you use ,it will vary from dark to light ,a quick easy method of producing localised rust ,Once I have the pigments on I used a clean soft flat brush to gently brush over the side of the chassis in a downward motion to add a bit of a streaked effect



I'll be back once I have all the rusting done on the chassis

Thanks for looking.

Chris.

That's pretty cool that you get all those different shades of rust color just from the oil paint and the rust effect. Looks very realistic.

 

[Chris S]

Thanks fella's

Myke ,its purely one colour of oil paint & one colour of pigment ,what happens is the oil paint soaks into the pigment ,so starting with a light rust pigment ,as its added it starts off dark ,but the more pigment you add the lighter it gets because the oils can only soak up so much .Simply a matter of adding more in some places and less in others
