    Default Rust effect

    Here are the results of about 10 coats of the Rust agent. 4 down, 3 to go.












    Kinda funny how my painting surface is rusting too.


    Tonight I'm finishing up the last 3 grills and I'll be taking a small part from the TJ11 (PSU bracket) and adding the rust effect to it. Pictures of that in my next update.

    Cheers till then,

    That looks like a heating element of a stove to me....

    But still good.
    Two years. They were great. Let's make the next ones even better!

    Default Final Testing

    OK here is the last part of the testing. This time I'll actually be painting a part of the case.

    Here is the dual PSU bracket.


    I painted the screws that hold the PSU bracket together.


    And here is all of it painted and put together.







    That's all for testing. Next step is to start on the main part of the mod but that will be in a new worklog.

    Thanks for watching,

    Fuga

    If you want even more rusty, nasty texturing, toss a little sand into the wet iron paint just after applying it. Let that dry well, then apply some more iron paint over it. It'll look more like metal that's started to rust internally, like severe body rot on cars.

    For a difference, you might want to look at adding oil paint washes, dirty dry brushing and other effects on top of the rust so it's not all exactly the same (since it won't be perfectly the same anyway).
