Lovely weathering. The rust effects are great. Can you expound upon the techniques and materials you used to obtain such a well weathered rust effect?
Thank,
Tim

Thanks

everything was firstly painted in a light grey acryl paint,than using a sponge,I have blotted different paint onto it,using browns and blue.The barells were done a bit too much,IMHO,but it was all in the spirit of try and error,they were blotted with a dark grey and brown,and a blue and brown combination.Brown is used for dark rust. than they were brushed with a dark rust pigment following light rust pigment,this has to be redone for effect.if I were to do it now,I would use blue for base colour than blott the gray and brown.
the plates were done simmilary,only with the added mix of pigments with white spirit,this is used with light rust(Talens pigments have a really orangy rust...) for blobs of rust.The paint is acryl because of this use of white spirit. than a brushing of pigment which is scraped in a downwards motion with a moist stiff brush whick has little hair left,to get the streaks. but it is mostly play with everything...

The details are interesting to look at. Are you planning to add a couple figures? Nice job so far, Greg

I am preparing to modify one ICM figure from their luftwaffe set into a civilian, as if to rummage through garbage and debris, and I am thinking to order one civilian from a company from france which makes O scale,but am not 100% percent if its 1/48 or 1/43(O gauge???)

If you are thinking of the figures made by Mk.35....they are 1/43, not 1/48....but VERY nicely done. I'm not sure the lone figure in your setting would be that noticable. But if you use the ICM figure with the Mk.35.....then there will be a difference....
But then, people are different sizes, too!!!!
And I am not talking about their Mk.35 figures...they have an extensive 1/43rd series and scenic items available.....
HTH, Dave

Dave,it is Mk35. That is my dillema,I will see how the ICM fig turns out,If it`s OK,than it will be only him

some more work...the figure is a modified ICM german aircraft crew, pants were lengthened,a vest added and a bandage made from magicsculp.
