Modeling a burnt out rubber tire

Hi

I want to do a burnt out vehicle that has rubber tires and one or more of these will be burnt out as well. I have seen some pictures where the tires have been reduced to some whitish ash looking thing. Is that the general looks of burnt tires and if so - how to do it ??

Thanks
Thomas

MIG Pigments

Thomas,

One of the pigments that MIG sells is called ash. The idea is that you mix it with a solvent (alcohol, water) and just apply it in layers to simulate ash buildup from a burnt tire. I've never tried it.

I suppose, in theory, you could do the same with burnt paper, fireplace ash, stuff like that.

There are several aftermarket guys who sell burnt out wheels for Shermans, Tigers, T-34, etc.
