Great work as usual. Hope mine looks half as good!

Thanks Dustin!! I'm looking forward to seeing you have some fun with the weathering!!


Well, that time has come...I think I have to call this one done! It's been a fun ride. I appreciate some of you following along!! Thanks!







I finished up a feature type build review of this one and will have a few more of the finished photos included in with it...should be up soon I would figure!

Thanks again for hanging around for a while!!

Wow... Beautiful work sir. This is fantastic. Could you share some tips on doing the mud?

Cheers,
Dustin

Thank you Dustin! Appreciate the kind words! I do have the feature article loaded and it should be published shortly I think. There is some explanation about washes and pigments in there. Basically though, it is done in layers. Depends on what you are looking to achieve...dust, dried caked on dirt...mud. Each application is a little different. Start small and build up. Pigments can be added as washes, in thicker slurry mixes, dry and more. Base mediums for mixing can range from water to thinners with or without additives like plaster, finely sifter dirt and clay to paints and washes. Again, this comes down to what you are looking for in the end. Fire away with questions, there are many techniques uses by everyone, you will find the ones you are comfortable without a problem!

oh well, you are done??? cool.

I am waiting for some extra items like MG metal barrels to start the painting....

LOL...didn't take to long! Especially when this was one of those little projects to try and have some fun...it worked! Looking forward to seeing you work on yours my friend!

Todd, the weathering came out great. It looks like it was a cold hard winter. Well done.

Thanks Rob! I appreciate the kind words!

Todd,

Not to bother you, but any idea when this will be published?

Hey Dustin, no bother at all. The build feature is in the queue awaiting one of the editors to pull the trigger. Let me see what I can do to get the ball rolling...should be soon!

Awesome deal.

Hi Todd,

Outstanding model! Your love of extreme weathering has enhanced it, too.

Thanks Fred! All about having a little fun isn't it?!
