How to add patina to a scale model

In this video I show how I add a weathered look or patina to a scale model, creating a "rust" look using the salt method. I use acrylic paint and airbrush.

Whoever said that sitting around watching the cars rust is boring, never watched this video. This was very informative, even to me who has done this type of thing many times. I learned soem new tricks. Thank you. I now return you back to the entertaining pastime of watching the cars rust.

Great video on using the salt method, I haven't done this before. Do you think the hairspray method would as good as this does.

[@Secret_Collector]

Cool nice

[@KayCee0216]

So do you apply some kind of flat clear coat? Acrylic comes off with water. I'll be doing a D90 range Rover

[@billludlow5221]

[@6ickness1]

[@antibougons]

WOW!!!

[@davidholmes3776]

Do you have to let the paint dry between steps? I’ve never painted before but this looks ace!

[@gohst581922]

Thank you! Yes the paints have to dry between steps.

[@styrenereplicas53]

Excellent how-to. Thanks for sharing. Do you thin your craft acrylic paint and if so what do you use? Thanks. Dave

[@gohst581922]

Thanks! I thin it with windshield washer fluid.

[@styrenereplicas53]

@@gohst581922 Thank you. I've had good luck thinning with both windshield washer fluid and also Future if I want a slightly shiny finish. Dave

[@Explore-Gobal]

@@styrenereplicas53 New to this. My windshield washer fluid is soapy. This is what is recommended?
