Here I am using a mixture of water with india ink added. To the side I have burnt umber from my watercolor tubes which I mix them both together. I am making sure there is more black than brown.
The color I chose was rail brown by Floquil. The color is too green and looks "new". I am trying a new approach right now, Polly Scale roof brown paint. It is a little glossy but with a nice coat of dull varnish, it should have a nice rust look.
Thanks Erik. I really like playing with wood but my metal weathering needs some help. I am going to purchase some MIG Productions weathering pigments. They are very popular and great results.
Whenever I get this finished I intend to write it up .. but untill then ..
- Sprayed some American Accents Terra Cotta for a base. It resembles rust .. and has a texture
- Rusted and stained with brown, red and black oils
- After hairspray and a Pale Green paint i chipped it
- followed with weathering powders
Intend to go back with some pin-washes of oils later when complete

Funny. Only a modeler would look at this funky, oily. dirty, rusty tank and think it looked nice! :)
