Great looking Tiger, but we'd like to see more of her.

Thanks guys..she looks even better now with some more damage:)
For rust used Modern Masters Iron paint has real iron in and you hit it with their (weak) acid and it really rusts!
Also good for really diluted wash to give it some mild weathering.
Use it on sculptures too. Here is a top view. The diorama's are also half the fun sometimes! Tom

That's a good looking Tiger! Whats this paint that really rusts? Modern Masters? Never heard of it and can't find anything on it on line.

Never mind I found it, this stuff looks weird. Does it work well?

I think so..it is black and water based and you just paint is on..dull black...then spray or brush the dilute acid
on it and it slowly rusts because of the iron particles in it. Pretty cool and easy to experiment with.
You can get it really really rusty or hit with the iron again to tone it down or sand it a bit etc.
And I like to really dilute it with water for a wash to weather. This really is just the stock taigen paint
with that wash a few times then highlights with rust...then some water paint and chalk for dust or real mud
which ever was easier lol

Ok that sounds cool. I'll have to try some.
