| "rock rash" how to
heres a lil how to.. get out model paints,old soldering iron..to make trail badges!! *becareful if you try this yourself,you can ruin a body quick like!!* "have an idea of where the rocks scrape and gouge the body panels before you start" apply the tip of soldering iron(i used 25wt iron) till plastic starts to get warm,and then drag "rock rash" on your body. *if you have an older body,id practice on it first* want rusty spots,just hold the tip of the iron in the place you like and just as it starts to go thru,pull it off,look at it,and adjust to your liking while its still warm. *have something to help push back from the inside(i used a piece of delrin rod with rounded end),incase youve gone to far,while the plastic is still warm you can rub it around like thick butter and fix a hole if you dont like it.* after that..look it over..remember "moderation" too much, is just too much. i used tamiya paints.. xf-56 met grey xf-64 red brown and model master 4679 steel polly scale "rust" apply the steel and metallic first,then do your rust and red brown. my method..dab it-wipe excess with thumb,move on to next one. enjoy! |

The effect is there,now what about red primer over it and then a color top coat and then lightly go over the spots with a sanding sponge to expose the under colors and still have the dents and gouges?

Looks cool, but a little over the top. I agree that it looks more like rust. |

Looks good. I've used a heat gun to soften the lexan then used a knife to push in a crease. Works pretty good, I'll use both methods because every dent isn't the same.

I did basically the same thing with my Toyota Hard body Except I used a small butane torch and either heated the body and dented it or heated metal objects and made dents And used Testers rust colored paint and I used some dirt and some red pepper looks like it has had a hard life but what Yoter hasn't Last edited by kgb424; 12-11-2018 at 01:52 AM. |
