Accurascale O Gauge HUO. Step 6 - The Rust Gets a Hold.

The old rust application is now finished. Greater volume of pigment (although still only small quantities at a time) has been applied in corners and at edges, and now it is time to add a different tone of rust where more recent corrosion is taking place. For this stage I am using MIG Dark Mud. Once again, small quantities at a time and gentle application, building up the effect gradually.

 

You'll have noticed that there is plenty to do on the underframe.

Has the wagon had a coat of matt varnish at all? Just wondered what the pigments are sticking to.

Oops! It had a coat of Testor's Dullcote at the beginning. I forgot to mention that at the time, but have now edited the post to include that vital piece of information. Thanks, Steve.

Thanks Mick, I must be learning something ;-)

Do you always use Testors or is there an airbrush varnish that you'd recommend?

I have always used Testor's Dullcote. It always performs (for me) and I have never had a problem that can't be attributed to my ineptitude. Note, though, that I only use it for preparing a surface, not for protecting a finished item.

 

If I was to recommend a varnish for finishing off, it would be Ammo by Mig's one-shot product, Lucky Varnish, which comes in ultra-matt, matt, satin and glossy versions.
