Rust doesn't sit on upper raised surfaces and on top of paint, it builds in recesses and around rivets and bolts and under paint or in scratches. So I would make a rust coloured wash and apply this to relevant areas. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782167/10621448.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782167/10621448.page GMT

I would recommend sponging rather than dry brushing though.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782167/10621469.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782167/10621469.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782167/10621645.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782167/10621645.page GMT IMO, you did things slightly out of order.

When I paint rusted metal, I put down the rust layer first and then add the shiny non-rusted metal.

This is because if you have a large rusty object, like an ork trukk, the areas of exposed metal will be mostly rusty while the only non-rusted metal will be areas that get wear. Wear spots might be bullet impacts, joints, or just an area where the grots are resting their arms.

So for example, if I was painting the door you showed. I would have put down the blue paint layer first. then added rusty patches. Then washed the entire thing. Then finally I would have dry brushed the metal onto the rusted areas, as well as maybe some other bits of the paint to give a chipped feeling. This gives a more natural rusted look I feel. because if you have an old vehicle with the paint flaking, the rust is going to be concentrated around the edges of the exposed metal. The more central areas will have more non-rusted metal as rust tends to accumulate in crevices. While areas that receive more wear will have less visible rust because it gets rubbed off as it forms. The cracks are where it accumulates.

For example, when I was painting my WHFB Ogres and I had them all have these nasty rusty blades. The first color on the blades and armor was rust colors. Then I dry brushed metal over it so the edges and any nicks and chips were shiny where the rust had been worn off.

Another way to make rust convincing is the vary the color. It can be between a dull brown to a more orangy brown. Give your rust a very very light drybrush with orange to make it really pop and seem like its very severe rust. You can also have rust streaks running down from joints, rivets, etc... where it looks like water has washed some rust out of the crevices and left a nasty stain. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782167/10621707.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782167/10621707.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782167/10621773.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782167/10621773.page GMT ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782167/10621927.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782167/10621927.page GMT


I dont know how to do the lovely grimy streaking effect, but I think it gets the rusty patch idea across.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782167/10622212.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782167/10622212.page GMT
You should also consider trying some panel shading techniques to give those vehicles depth and make the yellow less in your face. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782167/10622370.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/782167/10622370.page GMT
