I"m just about finished with my King Tiger and I was wondering what would be a good technique for replicating fuel/oil staining on the engine deck? I know theres different products to produce this effect but I was looking to make something myself and save some $$ in the process.
Any suggestions?

I don't build armor, but make fuel stains on planes with washes. For oil stains I make two kinds. For a dried stain I also make a thin wash. But for a wet stain I make a semi-transparent brown paint from a touch of brown in a gloss clear. This is usually for bottom surfaces where a serious oil spot would gather.

Thats what I was thinking about doing. I have the basic testors enamels that I use for pin washes but I wasn't really sure how to apply them for fuel/oil stains. I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the advice.
Tankster, I use AK Fuel Spill. It stays a little shiny, might be an option for you and its very easy to use. It's thin enough to flow into panel lines.
a nice effect is to layer,for example the stain,then some pigments to simulate dirt on top,followed by a later stain on top of that to simulate older and newer ones.
I find on real vehicles that fuel spills dry pretty fast, oil and hydraulic fluids take much longer to dry.
What brand of washes would you use for rust stains on ships?
Mig and AK-Interactive make rust washes and rust pigments,or you can get any rust paint and thin it 90-10
thank you for the advice-I'm looking into those as we speak.
