Thank you very much, glad you like it. I saw a few pictures of tanks that had this crustiness, not sure if it is stuff on the decks or from inside or both, I used a thin sand mix applied with PVA then painted and pigments added.


Si:)


Thanks for the tip - I think I will try this on some of my own 1/16 Tamiya tanks  ;)

Excellent work Eddie, if I had just come across those pictures randomly on Google I would have thought it was real. Top skills. Get well soon. U2

My models are not nice, clean and ship-shape. They be mucky, grubby, rusty and smelly.

Thank you John, I am so-so regarding health but try and do as much as I can in modelling. Some days are better than others but, it keeps me busy.

Really Nice work Eddie.


I have a few 1/16 Tamiya tanks that have not see the light for day for years - you have inspired me to get them out, dust them off, and see how I get on with weathering them.


The rust colours have always defeated me - do you use any of the Tamiya acrylics for your rust colours?

Hi Bob, was surprised to see this post again.

Depends on what I am wanting to do with them. If I am running them RC then I use acrylic paints, browns, orange, reds etc to create a look, mainly because they are being handled.
The rust on this model was created using various rust pigments applied with pigment fixer, they look great but do wear off if handled.

Thanks for your reply.

The workshop (shed) is getting colder so I may get the plastics out again and see what I can do indoors in the warm  :-))

Merry (little) Christmas - Stay safe!
