08 July 2010 | extreme rust

Back to this plaster thing -indeed it's quite porous but ihad the idea in a flash. Ever noticed how the rust tends to go in plaques onrusted boats? I think i first saw that some 20 years ago when I was visitingold bunkers on the Atlantic coast. Well, I wanted to create an effect ofextreme rust, so .. i put some diluted white glue on my plastic parts, appliedmy very thin plaster on the curves -it broke of course but in the end it looksokay, but just okay.

So I had the idea of using some Tamiya mastic to blend someof the plaques with the hull / cabin so that they would look like they actuallydetach.
