The intended state is 'pretty grotty.'  A few random rust spots would be needed, so an old toothbrush was dipped into the Revell 84.

I am part of the O Gauge group of the Leamington and District Model Railway Society, although my main interest is 4mm, and it is for someone else.

Looks a bit like when my airbrush clogs - and far easier than spoiling a perfectly good toothbrush! :laugh:
