rusted Destroyer

[knarf]

thought some around here might enjoy a look at this. i came up with my own rusting technique, i filed on an old piece of cast iron until i had a nice pile if filings. then a very lite coat of dull-kote was brushed on and the iron sprinkled on that. put it outside for a few days of rain and there ya go.

enjoy

Interesting. Never tried to rust a model before

Always wondered what happened to the first generation monster trucks .......... guess they just rust away ...........super job !!!!!

Nothing looks more like rust than rust!

I can dig it! I'm going to try a similar technique, although my rust is already in rust form. I grabbed a handful of rusty metal flakes out of my '73 Maverick's quarter panel and ground it up lol

Well, that's an interesting approach. But one thing occurs to me. That kind of heavy scale rust would only occur if the vehicle was submerged for a long time, in which case the sides and all surfaces under water would be equally heavily scaled/scaly. So it seems to me, anyway.

[knarf]

you are more likely than not correct Danno, this started out as an experiment just to see if i could get decent results this way and to that end, i'm happy with it

ok where did you get the smaller tires from

i was curious about that myself! Are they off a tractor toy or something?

[Chuck Most]

They kind of look like they're off an old Ertl diecast toy... but I'd like to know where those tires came from too.

[knarf]

the tires were cast by a friend named Mark Gosselin over on facebook, i'm not sure what he used for a master. they are supposed to be replicas of the transport tires for monster trucks while in the trailer.

and yes Daniel, post away
