At first I primed the barrels black and sprayed a layer of Vallejo Model Air Rust (71.080) with my airbrush.

Brown Barrels.

I then decided to look up a reference for rusted barrels on the internet, why I didn’t do this before hand, I don’t know.

Russia had a lot of scrap metal to clean up on the arctic coat 3 years ago.

I then stippled on some Citadel Technical Typhus Corrosion (99189956010) all around the barrels. I then applied a thinned coat of Vallejo Panzer Aces Light Rust (70.301) around the rims on the top and bottom of each of the barrels. For the on laying sideways I put some on the top and the bottom. Then for those standing in the water I gave them an extra rim of Typhus Corrosion around the bottom. I then applied a coat of Vallejo Model Wash Rust (76.506) on the top of the barrels and streaked it down the sides quite heavily. And to finish them up I applied a light drybrush of a mix between Vallejo Model Air Rust (71.080) & Vallejo Model Air White Grey (71.119) over the top and in a top-down motion over the sides.

For any thinned coats or mixes I don’t know the ratios, I do this by eye until I get what I need. And I used a lot of paints with rust in the name, because well they’re kind of the colours I needed.
