Pingvuiini, nice rust effects. What paint or wash did you use to achieve this rust detail?

 

[model maker jnr]

Nice ageing

Thanks for the comments and critiques.

Tanker 52: I tried acrylics at first but the water based nature of acrylics didn't behave like I wanted it to. So I went back to the oils and mineral spirits to cover up the acrylic weathering. Oils and mineral spirits are stinkier than acrylics but more fun!

I was given this one as a gift, nice to see it built. Looks great! ;D

Nice effects!

Does this represent and operational vehicle or was this a painting excercise?

Hi MrT!

Re effects - For diorama purposes this could represent a very well used but still (barely) operational vehicle. I generally overweather all my models just because I enjoy it, even though I know its not real-world realistic. Here are other samples from the painting and weathering forum:

Very accurate buildup, with incredible weathering.

Looking sweet, I really love the grime and rust. Seen this at hobby lobby and thought of buying it many times.

Looks amazing I built this kit a long time ago. I think I'm going to throw it away because this is what it should look like lol
