Yes... rust ! I use a combination of paint and pastel chalks myself which leads to results like this: I am quite happy with the result but would like to hear some tips from others. So how do you get those plastic models in the scrapyard rusting ?

Always, as the first step, is to give the piece its' original silver color, then a wash of diluted Poly Scale 'rust'. Since rusting is a process that takes place over time, it is necessary to 'rust' something in varying degrees. What I mean is, most rusted pieces are not all the same color. I use another Poly Scale 'oily black' wash , to get the different degrees of rust. f2.pg.photos.yahoo.com/stryper50Chester

Both of you are great modelers. Any time a picture is blown up to two or three times the size of the model and the detail holds well, it is a great model. As far as rust, it comes in many different colors from the new orange rust to the old brown rust. SMCC used to put out a "weathering kit" which I will discribe in a new thread called small business in the "members only" section. (It doesn't cost to join us if you wish to read this ;D) I just found out that the workbench is another members only section

Eric, at first sight I thought that was a real rusyed exhaust. Have you used flat brown paint with the pastel? Poly scale? the first time I hear about it. Do other manufactures offer something similar? And by the way, really nice models Chester.

Albert, First, thank you for the kind words. I am an admirer of your modelling skills also. Poly Scale is a water based paint from Testors. It is a nightmare to spray with an airbrush and color selection is meager, but for certain things like the rust, oily black, mud and dirt (actual names of the colors) they shine since they are so easy to dilute to the consistency you need for a wash.

Albert,
I first paint the exhaust aluminium and then add a flat reddish brown before the aluminium dries. To this wet paint mixture I add the chalkdust, for the exhaust pictured above I used black, several shades of brown, yellow, white, grey and red. For the black part on the end of the exhaust I used charcoal. Quite some work, but I haven't found any other way to recreate this irregular rusty surface yet.

After allowing some steel wool to get wet after an outdoor project, it of course became rusty. I brought it inside and it had a chance to dry out. The next time I picked it up, I found that rust fell away in a powdery consistency and was the perfect choice for brushing like a pastel chalk. And who can beat rust to imitate rust.

I have been thinking for some time about making a rusty fender, say, out of toilet paper molded over a master. Cover the master in vaseline or something, paint the toilet paper in the requisite colors and when it dries it should hold the shape. I hope.
I think I will go try right away.

I'll look for the site but I remember seeing a fellow that covers his cars in aluminum foil and then he can dent them up too. Seems like a single fender would be pretty easy.

The good new is that the site is in the Thread called modeling tips found on the last page of the Workbench, third from the bottem of the page posted by Eric. The bad news is that the site is no longer available. Did anyone download it?

There is this stuff on sale in the UK called "Instant rust". It is a two-part solution. The first is a sort of paint that contains iron particles, the second is a paint that contains a reactive solution that, when painted onto the first coat, corrodes the particles, creating a real rust effect. ;D I'll post the details when I find them.

I decided to go for some serious rust here: public.fotki.com/stryper50/187_scale_dioramas/old_tanker/rust_3.htmlpublic.fotki.com/stryper50/187_scale_dioramas/old_tanker/rust_2.htmlThere are several different techniques I tried here. I washed the piece with the Poly Scale acrylic rust over a silver base. Then I used rust (the real thing) dissolved in alcohol. Next came dabs of Burnt Umber artist acrylic paste and they were drawn down with a damp brush. While still wet I darkened the real rust, dry this time, with black chalk and peppered the model. I used a really awful trailer from Lindberg to take this exercise and on a better piece that came out good, I would dull coat. Everything could easily be wiped off if not. I'm beginning to forget how to make something shiny and clean.
