Wow, this project is stunning!!! The last pic in this thread is a prize winner. Just beautiful work on your part.
The painting is first rate. Can you please give an explanation on how you have achieved this look so far, i.e. what paints, and the application technique you use? Thanks.

Hi Danny
I have made the rust with pastels, first orange dilluted with water, then black also dilluted after that I used MIG pastel vietnam dust also dilluted, after that I made a drybrush with Raw Umber OIlpaint and Humbroll silver.
Thats all

I have to echo everyone else's comments. That beast is great on so many levels. Unusal subject, great construction, great paint and detail work. You have the whole package there.
Wonderful...
