Hello All,

Being fascinated with the burn out rusty beat up machines and seeing the works of many including Rob Ferreira from Scratchmod, it has seemed I convinced myself to go forth and make an attempt.

I started with an old Dragon Ferdinand I had made years ago (not great either) on Friday night…

Sprayed black enamel to start!

Mixed up some acrylics to a chocolate mud concoction…

Dabs of thinner and three different pigment, Dark, Medium and light rust I started stippling

Sprayed a nice coat of hairspray with my airbrush and salted…

Sprayed dark yellow and some white/field green for a hint of camo…

I began stippling with a stiff brush, removing the salt and some paint, oh yeah, this is from this morning.

A little dusting of smoke (my chocolate mixture) and some white/dark yellow mix sprayed threw a stretched out kitchen scrubby for the burnt effect…

That was it…total of about 3 hours and done…well I thought so anyway! Now I want to make a small base for it adding some mud and grass maybe. It will make a nice addition to my desk at work! Also since this was my first rusting project, I have this great need to rust everything now! Really looking forward to the next one!

Thanks for stopping by![proplr]

Looks like a fun way to use an old build as a test-bed/learning platform. Effects look good, nice layering combo. [Y] Only thing I would suggest is perhaps adding a penetration point to show the killing shot that set it ablaze.

3

some quick work done. Effect looks good

what was used for the tow cables for the original build?

4

Nicely done… [Y]

5

[Y] nice.Ron

Thanks guys! Much appreciated![:D]

Bill, I thought about that. Still have time to change maybe. I will have to research some impact shots.

Sprue, The cables were OOB. If I remember correctly, this was one of Dragons premium kits. Some PE, metal barrel and the cables included.

7

Takes guts to do that to a perfectly good kit. I think you pulled it off nicely. Very interesting technique.

8

Thank you Tigerman! I think it was easier with the “old” model. There were so many things that are done different now not to mention the 1st paint job. Now I kind of like the whole thing.[:)]

9

Rob…is that you? Did you create a new screen name to hide under?

Seriously T, that looks great.

10

Nicely Done T [Y].

Regards, Rick

11

Man that came out awesome! Your build sequence is really easy to follow and takes some of the mystery out of the technique for me.

12

Thanks guys, the kind words are much appreciated![;)]

13

One of the better “weathering” efforts I’ve seen involving rust in a very long time…Glad to see that you represented the rusting patinas in several different shades and most of them NOT in bright orange, but rather in darker colors…very realistic…[Y][Y]

14

WOW! I was floored when I saw the this. I would have been too afraid to do something like this but it is still definately something to aspire to AND in such short time?

Thanks for sharing TRM, I will keep this process bookmarked for future reference.

15

Ecellent! What a great idea!

16

Nice, real nice.

My goodness a three hour time warp.[Y]

Nice Work Sir

18

Thanks guys! Appreciate the encouragement. [:D]

19

Ok, thanks. I’m looking for cables for a tank build I’m currently working on and wonder where to get this material. The kit only included straight IM parts that are not acceptable

Looks like you got down T, and that you obviously had fun with it.
