I'm not one of the rust experts here but she looks cool to me.

Very cool, Nice hairspray technique on that!

The rust looks a little reddish to me, and a little too consistent, tone-wise. Try adding some bright orange to it for fresh rust in places like the tracks, which would have been abraded the last time it moved, and then freshly re-rusted in some brighter tones. Pigments would work great there.

Some light streaking with maybe some white oils on the side would give it some flair, and lastly, put some bird droppings on the top of it. :)

Gentlemen, thank you for your comments.

Doog, it wasn't done with hairspray, but I am curious why do you think it was. The bird poop is quite an original idea Smile, maybe I should try it? Any recomendations? Will definetly give a try to the bright orange, any tips how to apply it?

Many thanks for your advise, very encouraging that you guys like it.

Cheers...
