So I haven't had much motivation to sit down and concentrate on things for a prolonged period of time these days due to the humidity, and so decided to play about with different rust techniques.
I can be quite indecisive when deciding on a colour scheme for a mini (or the next 200), so I'd appreciate your feedback on which method looks the best.
I'm new to painting rust but have come up with the following 15 results using a variety of techniques (thanks to the guys that have given me advice here on CN).
Excuse the bad photography. I'll edit the post with painting directions for each experiment in the next few days when I have more time so that beginners can get some ideas on where to start painting their weathered skellies.
Cheers
EDIT: Painting Steps
