Has it really been that long since i posted anything...work is really getting in the way of this build!

So what have i been up to? Not a lot is the quick answer to that. What i have done is notice that the weathering i'd done below the waterline looked like a big pile of pants

So, i did the whole lot again

It now resembles the photo's that i have of this area, there is still a bit of tinkering to do here but i'm reasonably happy with how this looks now.

Comments or questions welcome,

Sav.

Thanks a lot Hunter,

Trust me, you can do this also. It's all done with brushes and little bit of know how (Mostly borrowed from other people) and it's done on the cheap. No airbrushes are used anywhere on this model. They expensive, unreliable if not treated with clinical care and they will make an airbrushed weathering job look just that, airbrushed!

This is based purely on my oppinion. I own four airbrushes and i only ever use them for my artwork.

So go ahead and have a go it's brill when an effect works. Saying that, it's not so brill when it does'nt!

Cheers,

Sav.

Good job Sav!

Looks amazing, considering You painted it with the brush. What a job! Superb weathering. How did You manage the rusty streaks so realistic?

Siara,

I owe you an apology, since i said i would send you the flux that i bought, i damned if i can find it

I've a feeling it may have been thrown out by mistake, so sorry about that.

The rust streaks were done with Mig pigments mixed to a 'Milk' consistency with white spirit. This was then applied with a 5 '0' brush in fine streaks. Whilst still wet a slightly larger brush moistened in white spirit was used to feather them out.

All the best,

Sav.
