Id suggest plaster especially in the lower potions to give it weight.

Do the armor nomally (true metals or NMM which ever has your favor) but with a slightly darker tone than usual (ie : avoid the knight in shining armor look). Then give it \"controled washes\" of dark browns and I think I also saw some dark greens in some spots. The corrosion appears mostly where metal plates link on what you showed.

One word: Alclad II. Okay, that\'s two words.

They\'re about the best metallics you can get. You have to spray them so if you don\'t have an airbrush then I\'d suggest Mr. Metals or Humbrol\'s Metalcote maybe.
