    Many thanks for this tutorial, I have just done it on a Baja Bug SCX24 body and I am amazed. easy to make and above all the result is perfect πŸ‘πŸ˜‰

    The results are very impressive. Rust works best when it is still quite subtle and it is possible to easily overdo it and add too much corrosion. As a finisher, I'd mask off the sweep of the wipers and use a thin layer of TS-71 Smoke on the windscreen to replicate dust.
  • I love hard bodies ot combines two of my hobbies model car building and rc racing and rc cars period. I lovey carpet rc pval and road course 1/10 scale stuff but also love my true scale realistic crawlers and hot rods that look as scale as you can get them with hard body or styrene bodies and all the 3d printing parts
  • Bloody awesome. Patina never looked more real. Thanks so much for the guide.

    That's a brilliant technique and looks really amazing.
  • Never heard of the hairspray method, have always used rubber cement and lotsa dry brushing. Great "how to" video. Gonna give this a shot.
  • @ByronRC
    What a great video, I will definitely be trying this
  • @scaleworksRC
    I like the white clean body but this is interesting. Looks like a lot of work, but the payoff is worth it. I was thinking more of a weathering kit designed for models, but this adds the 3D effect you mentioned of the rust coming through the paint. Well done.
  • Awesome work have never tried this but it is something I will definitely try in the near future
  • That doesn't look great. It looks awesome, amazing πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰
