Great War British HMG Rust wip (Part 2)

Here's the finished picture of the rusted wrinkly tin.

I used the pigments to add some texture to the rusted areas,

I used Mig Productions Rust & added beach sand to lighten it for highlights,

these were mixed with car screen wash & dabbed on as appropriate

the when dry I rubbed of the pigment with an old brush if there was too much on.

I used mig pigment fixer was than used (surprisingly) to fix the pigment in place!

This is basically how I do rust,

whether its the same way as others do it I don't know.

It's the best way that I've found up to press, but things might change.

Right here's a quick walkthrough of how i do rust

Heres the main colours that i use, Raw umber (very dark brown), Black & three rust shades as well as various shades inks & washes in brown, red, orange & green.

I start by mixing black & Raw Umber & paint an area that i want rusty, then highlight with Pure raw umber. I will then use a sponge & lightly sponge some extra patches of rust onto the model, these i may add another highlight to with a brush, but i tend to leave them..

Then carry on highlighting mixing the other colours in

Till the desired effect is reached



Then add various washes & glazes to blend in the rust.

The next stage will be the weathering powders.

Hope this helps so far.
