Platerpants Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 how do people simulate rust stains i wanna try some time. oh and great work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryan_m Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 speaking of rotted out junk! LOL ok well not rotted out........ here is my next project. i have had this body done for a while, and i now have the kit coming to finish it. there are no holes in it, its just all surface rust.... its gonna be a forgotten gasser..... im not sure what im going to do to the engine and frame yet, but it wont be totally rusted out, probably light rust, and lots of gunk on the drivetrain...... lookin like it has been sitting outside under a tarp for a very long time! this one is comin soon..........tune in then. bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryan_m Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 how do people simulate rust stains i wanna try some time. oh and great work jake, do you mean the streaks? or just the spots? the streaks i make by thinning out some rust colored paint, usually raw sienna, and i take a very thin brush and just touch it on there where i want the streak.....blow downward on it, or you can also use one of those cans of "duster", i usually use a hair drier...... when i get to the other side of this, ill make sure i take a few pics of my process so you can see what i mean..... bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bryan_m Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 here ya go Jake, heres how i make "streaks" heres the thinned out "raw sienna" just touch a small brush where you want it to start....... taake the brush and drag it straight down..........very lightly... then i hit it extra lightly with some rust powder.......and thats that buddy......a nice long rust streak that took about 5 minutes. hope this helped ya! bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dimebolt Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 That's pretty cool Bryan. You could have called it "Crankenstein" also, beings he's pretty close to an olive drab shade of green, and it woulda' matched with your tribute too. But Gangrene is an awesome name too. Lookin pretty awesome too man. Corey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
