eddiesolo Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Another test bed on rusting and effects, this time a 1/35 Sherman that was stranded and left to the sea, eventually it has become beached. Si:) 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddiesolo Posted December 18, 2015 Author Share Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) How did you achieve the effect? The effect is a really simple one. I build the model, in this case leaving items off and replacing the engine grilles with mesh. Once dry I coat in PVA and add some very, very fine sand. Once dry it had a coating of red primer. Again when dry I then used a black oil wash to soak in and leave some darkness. Once dry I then used my trusty mix of three pigments: Rail, old and new rust to get the rustyness. Just to add I then sponged on some matt cream paint from a matchpot in places. Si:) Edited December 18, 2015 by eddiesolo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
