Stelly You're more that 1800 posts too late to claim me!
Got an update for the log.
I was playing about with the rusty for a while and decided that simplicity was the best option.
I started going down the green algae route, with spots of rust and flakey metal, but it just wasn't working. when i looked at the photo the next day, then the real thing in my workshop , i realised it was a lost cause.
I started doing the side your not likely to see, and liked the result... now i just have to do the same thing another 5 times :|
Heres a pic,
and the final result
Those blisters / water droplets are painted on by the way... no trickery here
Dont worry about the bottom corner of the MB tray, thats gonna be sorted out
Of course when clear coated the colours will pop out and the drops and blisters will stand out more and look great.
stay tuned!
