Rust powder?

[Mark P]

What do you use to rust up a model? I need to do the underside of a truck but I want to do is use a powder rust and brush it on

Pigments or ground pastels are what you need.

I use various shades of Humrol weathering powders. Go onto the Humbrol Youtube channel there are one or two demondstrations. They certainly inspired me and along with the Humbrol Enamel washes that is all I tend to use. Ive tried other makes and in my opinion I get the same results. More experianced makers on here may offer what they prefer and why.


Cheers

I use three Mig pigments: Old Rust/New Rust.Rail Rust. Blended together I get effects like these, all applied using Mig pigment fixer.
