longshanks Posted October 7, 2020 Author Share Posted October 7, 2020 OK I think I've finished hacking holes in the hull and here are the results New hatch. I say new, actually a lid ontop of Airfix blob Even the inside has been worked over I reckon it's time to RUST Who would have thought it would take so much effort to make holes Avoid the numpties and stay safe Kev 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dancona Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Following this avidly, can't wait to see the "rustin", I think you may have discovered the "oil canning" holy grail, it looks very effective and if you don't mind, might well find its way onto my Victorious, obviously without the holes and rust !

You will need to experiment on some scrap first. The key I found is to find appropriate sized dome tools to form the depressions. I promised I'd show the Deluxe materials Scenic Rust in the raw As you can see it provides a nice texture but it's not a one-stop shop Avoid the numpties and stay safe Kev 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
