A had a spare resin 1:16 StuG III hull lying around (Profiline, with a small fault).
I used it as a testbed to make a hull look old and rusted, so I can randomly put this on an RC battlefield.
It just looked so empty!
I have to find something to solve that...
After a quick spray of cheap grey primer I covered the whole with one of my favourite weathering materials: Vallejo Rust Texture!
I added random bits on to the inside simply to make it look more interesting.
Prolly a Rivet Counter's nightmare haha!
After some more Vallejo Rust Texture
Then I added some more color variation using a brush. (AK Rust Primer and Track Primer).
Making a (piece of) tank look old and rusted.

1:16 was my scale. Until 'Konan' came into my life... an Armortek 1:6 Tiger 1!

Added some different pigments, trying to use a 'logical' pattern colorwise.
After airbrushing White Spirit over the whole and using a hairdryer to quickly dry it. I wasn't really happy with how the top part turned out...
...but good enough for my purpose.
Time for some hairspray!

Re: Making a piece of tank look old and rusted.
After the hairspray I airbrushed Vallejo Primer German Grey on top.
I worked in segments.
And using water and a hard brush I started to get the effect that I was looking for.
If you want to learn more about the 'hairspray technique', Youtube is your friend. It's fast and easy!
