Rust is over done here.

What the hell were you thinking?????

And rust does not bend like 'a reed in the wind'!

Rust runs as a consequence of gravity, not the whims of the fluid it travels through.

Your running rust extends to far from the limber holes and other sources. Rust colors are not simple variations of orange either -- study actual rusted items. Do more study of prototypes before you sling paint and other mediums at your poor model.

You have committed War Crimes here.
























And... FOR THE LOVE OF GOD ALLMIGHTY! ... don't commit to the display till you've practiced medium types and application techniques on a test-article (discarded or unused model).






Do it over. And this time get it right!

Touche, sir

So, I need specifics on making authentic looking rust. I am not in the least an artist, I tried Bob's Abteilung 502 Industrial Earth and Brown Wash, could not get it to cure. Maybe use Abteilung Fast dry thinner? Current application is Tamiya Weathering Master Rust. Specifics would be appreciated!

Fair enough, now that we've gotten the sword-play out of our systems.

Let me prepare a brief tutorial on rusting effects. Should have it up here by the end of the day or tomorrow. But, in the interim, here's a few teaser photos:

Something David taught me long ago when I built my OTW Type XXIII. The waterline scum line looks better when you use a fan blender brush with the scum color loaded onto it, and you draw downwards from the scum line and you do it in different lengths as you work your way across the hull.
One other thing he taught me for this specific boat…most XXIIIs were operating in cold water areas. The scum line was probably more beige/brown with little green.

Just adding something to consider as you finish your weathering.

Hope that was OK to add onto what David is teaching…

Thanks so much! The cold water makes so much sense, I had wondered about that. I am learning and appreciate the help!
