A quick SBS on what I learnt for rust effects.
rust coloured pigments applied to the base, then fixed with matt coat and thinners.
** What I should have done was put the matt coat on first then dabbed the pigments on. later you will see it looks way too the same colour.**
Using liquid mask to dab on some future chipps. I made them too big, lucky this is a test. used a piece of sponge and tweezers.
top coat to show pannels.
add a few fancy bits, washes and touch ups. An AB and a stencil makes work easy! I also put a few dabs on the top coat so the numbers and yellow line get chipped.
use bluetack to remove masking fluid.
Use thinners to loosen the pigment and pull the pigment in the required direction. Note to self and any one else dont use too much thinner other wise it will end up like the above pic. I went around the chips with some grey to higlight. Too much rust that is plain in colour is the result.
Findings
A pretty good test to see if I can pull it off on the real base.
what I need to change on the real base;
1. Varied pigment aplication thinners first
2 Smaller chips
2. Using less thinners and a seperate brush to drag the pigments once loose is also needed.
Happy painting.
