| RE: Rust on tracks
Hi Alan 2525 and Treadwell,
Thanks so much for the additional tips on rust weathering on the tracks. I've finally finished my tracks taking into consideration your suggestions and the other previous replies and the availability of materials.
Well first off, I painted the tracks semi-gloss red. This was followed by a combination of oils (a mixture of Vandyke's brown and raw umber. After this I painted actual rust (a friend gave me some rust he gathered at home from a rusted roof). After this I painted a steel red Gunze-Sangyo water based acrylic paint. Then as a final touch a pass of burnt siena oil. Here is the semi-finished tracks as I still have to add some dirt to the (outer rubber) wheels. Tread I saw your T-34 in your gallery. Its neat and cool. Mine is dirty. Merry Christmas!! and happy holidays!! Here are the pictures of my newly track-rusted T-34/76 1941 german-captured tank. (the photo with the exposed engine was taken much eralier during assembly)
