Rob looking good. How do you overcome that salt bleeding out in areas? Like in your picture the 12th from the top?

Seems like a pity to use the newer J smart kit as a rust bucket, but that is your style. Very effective too I might add.

Rust, rust, rust.  Always with the rust.  But your rust brings gold.  This one looks on the way.

Pz III Ausf J ..Finished
Posted by scratchmod on Saturday, November 28, 2009 5:58 PM

Hi guys it's me again with another quick build to waste time. Actually this is a practice model to try out some mig pigments before committing to the JT. I normally would just go for it but I don't want to screw up the KT.

The model is the Dragon Pz III Ausf J built OOTB. Here is the result of two days work.

I started the turret today and just got done with the painting a short time ago. Only took about an hour to paint the turret.

Primered and ready for painting.

My usual dark brown base coat.

A thick dark brown wash using 502 Abteilung from MIG

Before the wash dryed I applied a dark rust pigment,again MIG products, with some light rust added in areas.

A heavy coat of Hairspray and salt added while the HS was still wet.

Now the actual paint color is applied using Tamiya Acrylics, I used white with a drop of Buff.

Here are tools of the trade, stiff bristle brushes and a pin used to remove the paint and salt.

Some more weathering using a light rust pigment and a light wash using the 502 Abteilung oil thinned some more.

And here is the end result. I won't add anything else since most of it will not be seen anyways. Hope you guys like this guy too.
