really convincing rust effects

[@notjustpanzer]

Thanks Berlin 128g for your comment.
Rust is a super interesting subject.
I'm really happy how they turned out and how they look once place in the model.

Sometimes simpler is better and I didn´t want to show overcomplicated things.

Gute Tipps. Danke

Thanks for your comment

[@jerryvolpini7987]

Good technique, flows easily from step to step, making it fast and repeatable, yet still very random 👍

[@notjustpanzer]

Thanks,
Yes that what I think it makes so versatile. Just changing some colors or making a heavy application you can achieve very different effects. And the technique itself is quite easy.

[@detlevwalter7495]

Sehr interessant 👍

[@notjustpanzer]

Thanks for your comment!
Rust effects are just a whole subject in the scale modelling world, but even there, there are endless of possibilities for working with them.

今まで見た中で１番美しいウェザリングのPnzerⅣ！🎉

[@notjustpanzer]

Thank you so much!
Super glad you enjoyed the video. Excellent plastic quality of tamiya also helps to the main work.
Cheers

[@lewisconklin7252]

Cool

[@notjustpanzer]

Thanks Lewisconklin!

[@josephsequeira8020]

Incredibly fantastic job on that muffler

[@notjustpanzer]

Thank you much, I'm really proud about how it turned out, but also because of the relatively short amount of time needed.

[@josemafuentes1492]

Es increíble el resultado que consigues con solo tres colores....

[@notjustpanzer]

Muchas gracias
Ciertamente muchos de los efectos que se aplican en las maquetas dependen mucho del color que usemos.
En este caso los tonos ocres y naranjas le sientan muy bien a los óxidos!

[@pierrecombe3737]

Bonjour de France !
C’est très intéressant, beaucoup de maîtrise, je regarde et j’apprends.
Bonne continuation et MERCI l’artiste !

[@notjustpanzer]

Thank you so much, Pierrecombe3737.
That is a very very inspiring comment.
Really supports me a lot.
Cheers

[@saundersd1962]

Outstanding job and well presented, I will certainly give that a go. I just wonder why the change to enamel paint after all the acrylic coats when there should be an equivalent acrylic paint to finish off ?

[@notjustpanzer]

In my case I prefer to use acrylics for creating quick and solid results.
I change to enamels and oils because they allow me to create easier blendings and I can create some transparent layers, maybe I'm too used to work with enamels.
I guess you can achieve that enamel effect with acrylics too, it's just matter of trying.
Thanks for your comment.

[@user-ne8vj5is6j]

Цепочки как сделал?

[@notjustpanzer]

Tracks I used were from the plastic pieces of tamiya kit and also some spare metal links from old friulmodel tracks.

[@robertmunoz7543]

Patina?😳
Jman

[@notjustpanzer]

Sorry, what do you mean?

[@robertmunoz7543]

@@notjustpanzer I collect military helmets and I always hear high end collectorsl refer to rust as patina,guess it makes it sound fancier than sayin rust?🙄
Jman

[@notjustpanzer]

It sounds very interesting, I didn't know that. Of course I will use it in my next opportunity.
Thanks for the advise.

[@TheHateSpeechChannel]

Did you know the tracks had an anti rust additive during the manufacturing process?

[@notjustpanzer]

Thanks for your comment!
The fact is rust commonly appears in spare tracks and heavy unpainted steel parts of an armoured vehicle. There are plenty of historical references to search for. All in all, it's always funnier to have more effect variety in our models.

[@jerryvolpini7987]

*@zeroempathyok* Ask any tank crew, tracks took on a patina after only a short time in the field and, when left for any amount of time, quickly started to rust. Funny that you mentioned the tracks, though, as mufflers typically lightened with heat and any rust present, while noticeable, was usually much less pronounced then shown on the model. Look hard enough, though, and you'll find references to justify just about any weathering technique, especially late war German and Russian vehicles. Ultimately, his model, his choice. 👍

Thanks for your comment!

[@rickmoreno6858]

Thank you. But when I Mosel these parts, I never use excess rust, as the equipment wasn't around that long to rust, as this was a Global War. Anyways great work

[@notjustpanzer]

Hi there!
Exactly, depending of the modeling preferences it´s completely fine to rust or don´t. It also depends of what you want to represent. In this case I went for a heavy rusty look for creating great contrast with the main model. On the other hand in some other older models I chose to represent some very light rust instead.
Cheers.
