Well after painting loads of undead Napoleonics and starting on a plan to take over the world with undead skeletons I decided that I needed a way to make rust look good….so i had heard of this range of materials…
So rather than just slop on the rust I decided tonuse some superglue and fine sand to make a texturedsurdace on the axe…in hindsight I should have just used baking powder, but hey ho…
So when it was dry I slapped some metal colour over the top and then threw some of the rust stuff on the axe head…. bloody he’ll in about two minutes it looked like rusty metal… I kid you not
I was actually bit gob smacked, sadly with the size of the mini it is really hard to see with a camera but I did try and get a photo…
You will have to trust me, it looks better in real life.
I then went for the moss effect for the grave stone…..
Again I was happy with the result.
Now to be honest this was me spending 30 seconds flinging a new product on a model, but it seems to do what it is meant to do. I will find something a bit bigger to paint another day.
This stuff isn’t cheap, at all. Makes Contrast paint look cheap. The best deal I got was the three bottles for £22 with free postage. It is a solvent based paint and dries really, really fast, so no smoking fags near them when they are open. As you can see from the bottles they are a good old size, so should last a while.
As for the verdigris, I want some of the skeletons on bronze armour…so thought this might help.
I am hoping to do some more testing of these sometime soon and will keep you updated to speed on what I find.

Does look good! 🙂 I’d be wary of the semi-permanent comment on the bottle though!

I think it might be because it will reactivate with water, but will leave a stain.

I thought it might be something along those lines!

The stuff looks good. Only local supplier I’ve fopuind wants AU$40 per bottle which is just over £22.50 per bottle (plus extra for shipping). So £22 with free postage for all three sounds pretty good to me! 😀

Looks good. I agree with Az the local supplier is expensive but we will have to see what the price from UK to Oz is. Seems to work OK though.

It certainly looks the trick to me mate, I do find getting the rust effect difficult myself.
