Enjoy!
Great video! Very informative!
Thanks!
i got this paint and it seems awesome, thx for going giving tips on the usage buddy.
Hey you're welcome mate. Have fun!
Looking forward to trying all the techniques--thanks for sharing them. I haven't been getting consistent results with the rust yet, but I know that's on me. The verdigris has been easier so far for me to get the look I want at small scale.
I hope it helps! Interesting thoughts on the verdigris. I am looking forward to playing with that.
I have suscribed to your channel!
Welcome to the Flying Raven journey!
You got yourself a subscriber! Thank you for the straightforward, and varied demonstration. Would love to see how this works over a coat of AK's corrosion texture product
Hey your very welcome Lucas and Welcome to the Flying Raven Journey!
There's some great tips here, but it would have been great to have footage of what each one looked like when it was fully dried, after each tip!
Thanks Ian. I did look back at the results for all of them, which is about 04:03 I believe. But I take your point. I can look at that in the future, so thanks for the feedback!
I didn't expect to get great results from the DD rust at first but after watching your vid I gave it a test on some metal flooring and the results were spectacular. Adding a dab of water to the paint and smearing it around gives an incredibly realistic effect. A few flicks of water from a brush, large and small drops, adds another depth of awesomeness.
I'm really impressed with this stuff and your great tips for using it. Thank you
You are very welcome and I'm glad it was helpful!
Very interesting
Thanks!

I like to apply it over places where I've used more traditional chipping techniques. Also, besides water, try different washes. I really like Army Painter strong tone over it, it darkens it up, then you can add splotches of more DD rust to add brighter spots.
Oh thats an interesting idea. I will have to try that out. Thanks!
AWERSOME!
Great video! Which method would you recommend for the horse shoe ribs of a necron ghost arc?
Thanks! Hmm that's an interesting one. Others may have some ideas, but I might start with the stippling layers.
At the end of the day, as per the "when it goes wrong" video if you don't like it, you can wash it off, dry brush over your base colour again and once dry start again.
Let me know how you get on!
@@FlyingRavenStudios thanks, I'll give it a go! I guess I'll apply it thicker towards the bottom and let it fade out at the top maybe
Yeah sounds good. You could also try building up the layers (letting each layer dry first) towards the base to build up the effect. Have fun!
I love this paint but I struggled to get the light colors of rust to show through. Although I found mixing with some matt varnish you get bright colors only.
It is good stuff. Have a look at the next video "what happens if you get Dirty Down Rust wet"? I experiment with varnish in that. Out of interest, do you use acrylic or enamel varnish? In general, you will get darker tones if you use a thicker layer of the dirty down rust, and lighter tones if you use thinner layers. You can get a mixed effect by stippling and layering it up after letting it dry between coats. Hope that helps!
Oh and by the way, welcome to the Flying Raven journey!
I mixed it with acrylic ak matte varnish. Thankyou tbf I had been slapping it on and wiping of raised areas. Gunna try stippling it, and also gunna try adding to things like typhus corrosion and ryza rust, see what happens :)
Yeah have an experiment and let me know what happens! I have been talking talking people who have been using it over dried typhus corrosion and they go a really nice textured effect
Tip 8: apply it thru an airbrush to get a smooth rust effect, also can be used to get a NMM gold with liquid gold
Thanks for the tip. The gold NMM is interesting.... which liquid gold have you used for this?
@@FlyingRavenStudios vallejio green gold
Ahhh cool. I will have a play. Thanks!
Does this paint reactivate with water after it's dried?
Great question. In my experience I would say no it does not reactivate so you can manipulate it.... however.... I have had a bit of an experiment on a terrain peice that has been dry for a couple of weeks (so well and truly dry). When I added some water on a filbert brush and gave it a very gentle scrub, the Dirty Down Rust came off completely... well, it left just a very faint orange tint to the surface. I guess that is why it says on the bottle to keep dry once applied! If it gets wet with water, but you do not scrub it, then it goes very pale yellow / white.
***Disclaimer*** I have not tried it for this purpose, but that could potentially mean that if you are not happy with the effect (such as you added too much water, or the technique you have used does not look right for the scale you are working on), then you could essentially wash off the Dirty Down Rust, allow to dry and then start again... but once again I have not tested it to that extent. Just be careful as the water you are using to wash it off carries enough pigment to stain.
@@FlyingRavenStudios thank you, that's very informative and helpful 😀
Can it be airbrushed?
That's an interesting question and I haven't tried it to be honest! However, according to Dirtydown themselves, they say it can be applied by brush, airbrush or sprayer 👍
@@FlyingRavenStudios thanks,just ordered2 bottles.😁😁
i am a french retailer and i want to know how i could sell this product in my shop, can you help me ? thanks. olivier, je joue jeux partage
Hi Oliver,
To he honest I am not entirely sure. As I understand it, the Dirty Down company sell through set distributors. So all I can suggest is you go to the dirty down website and contact the company direct. Hope that helps and good luck!
@@FlyingRavenStudios thanks a lot !
Your welcome. Good luck!
ive used this and its dried with wet look lol
That could be quite impressive if you intended to do it 😁. What did you do / how did you use it?
Wow, this is really..."REALISTIC"!
Yes, it certainly is interesting stuff!
Instead of flicking water, why not flick rust onto the surface ? This does look a lot easer then using pigments then a fixer then building up the rust. At £10.00 this isn't that expensive either
*edit* on reflection, my gut feeling is that it would be too uncontrollable and you might spoil your project. But you certainly could try flicking the rust and see what effect you can get as an experiment. Just make sure you are using eye protection as getting it into your eyes would be bad. Also, I would definitely suggest thoroughly protecting the area around you if you are flicking the rust paint, so it doesn't go where you do not want it. Also, it can badly stain what it lands on.
Here's another good tip: Wear a mask and gloves. This stuff is a skin and eye irritant and should not be touched with bare hands. If you're "flicking" it, do it outside or in a fume hood with googles, a respirator and gloves.
Hey HeroesBosses. According to the Safety Data Sheet ( dirtydown.co.uk/safety-data-sheets/ ), as far as I can tell, gloves and respirators are not required for normal use. However, eye protection is a very valid point. This is why in the video, I suggested flicking water from a brush onto wet Dirtydown rust paint so you dont flick Dirtydown rust anywhere you dont want to.
On a separate note, on top of eye safety (or dripping it into your brew, which would also very much spoil your day). I wouldn't recommend flicking the Dirtydown paint itself as it is too uncontrolable, and you could end up spoiling your project.
I would wear gloves if I was about to use a kitchen towel wet with this stuff. It may be water-soluble, but it is a very dangerous product. Handle with extra care please.
I hadn't seen that in the instructions. Thanks for the info
I was stupid when using this stuff and without realizing, because I was rinsing my brush in my regular pot of water, I did the "corner of the mouth swipe-thing" we all do after wiping my brush on a paper towel. I did that twice. Less than an hour later I felt sick and started vomiting which lasted all thru the night. I now use separate brushes and a new pot of water (which I flush out after I'm done). Fool me once...
