Hi all. Good to see a forum devoted to rust n wrecks. Hoping to join in the fun and learn more on the techniques the experts use. Rob, you once kindly commented on an early build of mine over on Milmod when I didn't know what PE, Vallejo or pigments were. After almost 4 years of modelling now, I can definitely say I'm hooked. Not sure how to post pics yet but, assuming the add photo wizard works, the image below is of my recent abandoned Katyusha.  Look forward to seeing more amazing works from some talented folk.

Thanks dogfish7 good to be here.
Johnt: Odd, that. I have a google+ gallery and one fella asked to show my Katy build on his weblog. It's on Milmod too so it must have originated from one or either of these onto FB. Not that I mind in any way :0) Do you have a link at all?

Thanks gents. I get funny looks from the missus every time I slow down behind a rusty old truck just to inspect the rust effects  |

Hi Pete
Sorry I can't remember where on facebook I saw your work. It may have just been a link back to milmod. If I see it again I'll let you know.
Cheers

Thanks John. I did a spot of detective work and it was picked up on AKinteractive FB page from the kind fellow who posted a small build blog of the Katyusha on his makingscalemodels blogspot. Quite chuffed to be honest.

And I can't be the only one that throws old bits of metal into a tupperware box with water and vinegar to get some real rust for my builds can I?
