beefy66 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Just a suggestion but have you tried lightly scraping a curved scalpel blade over the outer holes this might also help create the depression I used this on fletcher as well as the Dremel with a sphere shaped grinding bit you can see the bit next to the wire brush then a light sanding this should thin the edges of the hole It's good fun all this experimenting lark HTH Stay Safe beefy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnWS Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Kev, can't wait see you're painting magic bringing the rust alive. Looking at your last photo in the post above, it looks like rust pitting on the extreme left (no holes, just the metal surface rusted away). That would be a nice effect as well.

Hewy Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 for light entertainment i read complex, and quality, mk2 looks bang on, we haven't all got macro-vision ,what you've done there is mighty fine, the oil canning effect reducing as you get higher up the hull seems most realistic to me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry1954 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 That has to be the most realistic rust I have ever seem. It made me shiver at the thought of catching my hand on it! Glad to see you are supporting the local model shop. I have ventured up there a couple of times in the last 12 months. One visit was with 4 other colleagues from BM, three of whom were some of our American cousins over for Telford. We'd spent a large part of the day at the FAA museum at Yeovilton so it seemed natural to whisk them up to Frome. Great place (the Model Centre and Yeovilton)!
