That being said, you can certainly use just a few colors of paint and a brush. Here is a video of doing paint chips like that:




The final effect can look great, but as you can see, doing it on a model the size of a tank is very time consuming.

You could also add some very fine texture in the places you want the rust patches to be before you start.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583476/6609124.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/583476/6609124.page GMT


Obviously for this you need an airbrush, and considering you are asking for techniques with a brush I can assume you dont have one. My first tip would be get one if you can. In honesty I love airbrushing and with vehicles it really gives you so much scope to play with.

But in terms of using a brush:
Id say, you would want to paint the rust on the dozerblade first, get that looking nice and defined. Then id use masking tape and tape the whole blade with strips of it, including both the black and yellow areas (so you have a fully taped blade). id then pull off a strip at a time and paint on the yellow or black depending on what colour you want starting in the corner. while doing this make sure to leave areas where you want there to be rust, so what you could do is build up the coats with a stippling effect and then block in a little extra solid colour at the end.

Repeat that for each strip of tape (as the tape will help ensure you get clean edges. Other than that im not too sure the best way to get it to look like the rust is beneath.
