Title: Knocked-out weekend project
Post by: TRM on 13 Feb , 2011, 14:10
Hello!

I have always been fascinated by the old rust buckets and knocked-out and burnt out projects.  I figured since I was trying something new, I didn't want to invest a lot of money on a new kit.  Friday I pulled out a shelved project from years ago.(Early attempt in modeling)  Dragon's 1/35 Ferdinand.  The rest is all that follows  

Friday, 2/11/11 3:45PM

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_FaFEYk1xjY8/TUYS0m581vI/AAAAAAAAA7A/vToXcuAtHTQ/C%20003.jpg)

Removed some stuff and spayed with black enamel

(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_FaFEYk1xjY8/TVhAYI2Z1yI/AAAAAAAAA-Y/CAx_5rHagO8/C%20007.jpg)

Mixed Flat Brown a little black and a touch of flat earth (melted chocolate) Grabbed the air brush!

Next dampened the area with thinner and began stippling 3 colors of rust...dark, medium and light, in that order.

Rusting complete...

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_FaFEYk1xjY8/TVhBB8hJHlI/AAAAAAAAA-8/lh8M_GO-U9M/C%20018.jpg)

Stole some hair spray from the girls...shot it on with my air brush to keep the pigments intact.  Dampened and salted....
(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_FaFEYk1xjY8/TVhBCFk9igI/AAAAAAAAA_A/xK5s3uJL6rw/C%20019.jpg)

Using Dark Yellow to start then some light camo stripes with a mix of field green and earth and white

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_FaFEYk1xjY8/TVhBCOR-qAI/AAAAAAAAA_E/akqLYpuOgB0/C%20020.jpg)

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_FaFEYk1xjY8/TVhBCNqmFPI/AAAAAAAAA_I/sZBoZtcDoxc/C%20021.jpg)

The faint camo...
(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_FaFEYk1xjY8/TVhBiZ0khJI/AAAAAAAAA_M/kfrksAyojcA/C%20022.jpg)

Stippling with different pressures and a couple of different brushes, removed the salt and some of the painted over rust...
(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_FaFEYk1xjY8/TVhBiny9qSI/AAAAAAAAA_Q/7Ucy5EzrA3c/C%20024.jpg)

A little more hair spray and salt then I took the original "chocolate mixture and lightly highlighted some areas for smoke.  Mixed white with the left over dark yellow and sprayed through a green kitchen scrubby pad for the whitening burnt effect...repeated the stippling brush attack

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_FaFEYk1xjY8/TVhBilQapZI/AAAAAAAAA_U/GbRuRbYjRls/C%20026.jpg)

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_FaFEYk1xjY8/TVhBi_Q9AyI/AAAAAAAAA_c/hMmBuFbMzuQ/C%20028.jpg)

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_FaFEYk1xjY8/TVhB7by9IsI/AAAAAAAAA_g/pJ3cj2J4F6w/C%20030.jpg)

A little wash and done....for now.

Fairly pleased with my first attempt at  "killing the beast", I will mount it on a small base, probably add some grass and dirt and it will make a nice addition to my desk at work! ;D

Total time involved, minus the first build and waiting for the enamel to dry....about 3 hours! ::)  Really fun project added to the resurrection of and OLD newbie work and a small amount of time = a satisfying weekend stress reliever! ;D

Hope you enjoyed it, I did!

Cheers!
