If it is too dark, dry-brush it with a light grey. That will bring out the details even more (and make the finished piece look like a briquette ).Muchas gracias, if I make it too dark no-one will see anything, perhaps that's a good thing! ...er then there's everyone on here who will see, bugger!
Some use REAL rust. The effect is astounding because nothing can beat the real thing.Bravo!
I’m learning about painting rust… or making paint look like rust.
I constantly have to do these caculations when I develop a model in different scales to determine the thickness of laminations. The results can drive @Rhaven Blaack crazy which is why I always encourage you to experiment. If you find a part needs to be thicker or thinner, just feel free to do so.Perusing the sheets which have turned up from the printers I have noticed the need for certain parts to be be thicker than the cardstock.
Quick calculations from one of my good friends at my model club suggests the sises are calculated a such - original file downloaded at 1/35th - my prints have been blown up to 200%, roughly 1/18th - what do you think, is my colleague correct?

Duly noted, and the 'real rust' is something I may look at...I constantly have to do these caculations when I develop a model in different scales to determine the thickness of laminations.

Excellent, just have fun is all I can sayBravo!

I hope so RB - if not it might turn into 'how not to' its certainly living up to the High Difficulty' level stamped on it.Models like these are extremely detailed and come with a TON of parts. I am looking forward to seeing how your build of this model turns out. I am certain that it will be a great guide for anyone who wishes to build this model in the future.
Just about as many parts as one of your Tie Fighters...thanks for tuning inHolly smokes that are a lot of parts. Im sure you can handle this we will be waiting here to see your updates.
Cheers. its currently staring me in the face, taunting me!Good luck and gods speed!
Looks like your calculations are correct, and you are off to a good start.
I'll be watching this build.
So far, but it's only just about to startLooking good!
Better do a good job then...can I have my kudos point now or later?I believe this will be the only build I have ever seen tof this model. Kudos to you!
