@elromanozo Lovely work as always, I really think the powdery look to the finish is great. Would this be done before or after painted armour, as a transition for half buried, destroyed tank or delapadated ironmongery.
Thank you ! It’s good for all of the above… but I tend to use another technique to weather metallics that have already been painted. This is to be saved for these cases where you don’t want to (don’t need to) paint metal first, then corrosion.
a fantastic job Romain you can also use black for fresh & very old rusted metals as that is the first colour some steel’s go’s through.
Thank you ! There’s nothing wrong with black, but it’s rarely very creative to have black shadows. The very point of this technique is that you mean to represent something so corroded that you don’t have to paint the metal underneath : it saves time and doesn’t “cake up” the miniature (that is, if you don’t want to).
it’s amazing the amount of colours rust actually turn through over time like going for a walk in a forest in a sunny autumn day.
love romain, only to listen to you makes me feel better and relaxed (lovely french accent) and funny remarks.
and the paintjob looks as always asome
I would never have thought to base rust like that…. as always Romain, an education, Very effective and I almost think I could replicate it …….maybe…… Seriously informative
Just go for it ! This is one “look” that doesn’t even require much brush control ! 🙂
Thank you one and all… I’m glad you found it interesting ! Your comments validate my teaching more than anything ! 🙂
