The effects of rust and oxidation in its many forms are becoming increasingly popular with modelers of all subjects and scales. Because the appearance of rust varies infinitely depending on materials and environment, modelers often misunderstand and misinterpret rust, resulting in unattractive and unrealistic models. This book clears up any doubts a modeler may have by clearly introducing the reader to the different types of rust and the techniques used to create dynamic and realistic oxidation effects. Author Jari Hemilä has dedicated many years to studying the effects of rust and how to accurately represent realistic oxidation, his passion and dedication to the subject will reward every reader with new ideas, tools and innovative methods. The Rust and Oxidation Modeling Guide offers a unique opportunity to hone your skills and perfect your next project.
This comprehensive guide begins by exploring how to approach each rusting project, starting with planning and the specific considerations for this type of model. Each step in the art of painting realistic and visually interesting oxidized cars is clearly explained and demonstrated across over 170 pages, including hundreds of step-by-step photographs. Rust comes in a variety of patterns and colors, and here we show the reader how to accurately recreate them.
We first explore what tools and materials are needed to enjoy rusting models, and then we go on to define the basic methods used. Each technique can be used alone for specific details, such as exhaust pipes and tracks, or in conjunction with a range of effects to create the desired level of depth that matches the unique aspects of each object.
This Rust and Oxidation Modeling Guide also includes a section of examples of models completed using each of the techniques you will learn in this book. The selection of objects and finishes is inspiring with examples of varying degrees of oxidation and rust, including various armored personnel carriers, a steam locomotive, a submarine, and even an airplane.
This comprehensive guide has been written to serve as an easy-to-use essential tool for the modeler's workbench, as well as to inspire you for your next project. This helpful tool will be useful to modelers who are just starting to paint rust, as well as those who are looking to improve their skills. The Rust and Oxidation Modeling Guide is suitable for all rust modelers of any genre, scale, and skill level.
