Thanks Andy. It’s always a pleasure to watch a Jedi master applying he’s skills. I’ve taken a lot ideas from this video, just need to apply them in practice now. Cheers
I had to chuckle at your selection of a victim to rust up. I coped with rust inversely on a scale 1:1 SU-76, Suka. While working as a volunteer at a museum I disassembled and sandblasted the the entire vehicle. Rebuilt the engine, transmission and final drives as well as the 7.62 crash-boom. After 2,500 hours I learned to hate rust but your tips may make love the stuff once more. Thanks for the good scoop.
Thanks andy... been watching and learning from your videos for over a year now! Your tips have made modeling so much more enjoyable for me! You will be sorely miss if u tude cut videos
Great job!! You have a really good technique doing the chipping with the brush. Maybe the products helps and they are good but your skills are great. Thank you so much for your videos and share your experiences.
Thank you for taking the time to share these techniques with us just a wonderful job in using different mediums to show how realistic rust effects can be achieved I personally work with acrylics and enamel/oil paints but usually not on the same model have or will you in the future do a tutorial on chipping and how to gain the three dimensional effect with the various chipping techniques I would be interested and I'm sure other artists would also enjoy it if you would you have a new subscriber and thank you again
The weathering on this model reminds me of some of the logging equipment I grew up around. The only time paint was applied to the heavy equipment was when they were trying to sell it. These machines were rarely if ever parked under cover, so rust streaked off of them. This is the first time I have seen the techniques used with acrylics for creating rust streaks. I will definitely give it a try.
I'm trying to build a large scale battlefield for my son in our backyard (20' x 12' area), but outdoors here in Seattle. With roads, buildings, sandbags, 1:18 scale. That said, what materials would you use to build roads, walls, bunkers, buildings and sandbags that could withstand the test of time, sun, water, cold and heat?
I’m just starting out doing weathering effects and have a few questions. Firstly I’m using the Vallejo black brown and chocolate brown. Do you use a thinner or use as is straight from the bottle? Secondly when I try to put water on an area where I want to do a block rust the water is just pooling not spreading. I’ve painted the tank with Tamiya TS5 olive drab if that helps with a Tamiya base coat primer. And thirdly when using the Ammo light rust it seems to be drying somewhat powdery. I’ve bought these separately not as part of the Vallejo weathering kit so therefore have no instructions as to how to use them so hoping you may be able to help with the questions.
Most rust on military models are "overdone" but to me that is the charm of military minis. I served on a tank and we took care of our kitten (Leopard 2), she was our home and protector in the field.
Amazing step by step video Andy I have various Vallejo paints but not these rusting effects will be sure to order them cheers Phil...Perth; Western Australia
Andy's Hobby Headquarters can you tell me a way to paint camo patterns at german tanks with a paintbrush and what colors do fit better at german tanks?
Spray Paint on a 1/35th scale model tank has its limits unless the spray paint is the base coat, with airbrushing that's where you want that detail and realistic appearance especially when applying camouflage patterns on a military vehicle. As for what colors to use to create the camouflage pattern, that all depends on the terrain that the tank is depicted in, especially with WW2 German tanks, which were in North Africa, Russia, Northern France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Italy, and the Balkans.
Great video, Andy! I have the Vallejo rust set and am about to start weathering Bronco's 1/35 A34 Comet Tank. You have given me much to think about. BTW, the double L in Spanish is pronounced like a letter Y in English. So "Vallejo" (being a Spanish company) is pronounced more like "Va-YEH-o", or, better, "Va-YE(SHORT NOISE LIKE HAWKING UP PHLEGM FROM THE BACK OF YOUR THROAT)-o"
I hope I can get an answer as this video is 3 years old! I just finished building a Panzer and it is German Grey as you know so my question is what color do I use for chipping? German Grey is dark as it is and I am really lost here. I have light rust wash but I need the chip color. Thank you!! 🙏🏻
Hi Andy, I have question, could you make a weathering guide for beginners with out using all the MIG or Vallejo ready made products , just showing different weathering techniques.
You really need Vallejo/Mig products for best results. You can always grind up pastels but that is no where near as good as tailor made pigments. If you want to weather things cheaply you can always use oil paints but I find using ready made pigments and washes etc gives better results and also simplifies everything for me :) it does require an initial outlay of $ but once you've made the investment they last for aaaaaages
There are lots of weathering supply choices out there (AK, Mig, Vallejo, etc). Would be a good video to see some comparison between products, if there is a discernible difference.
One question: why do you use enamel thinner to smooth out ? ( i have an idea that if using acrylic thinner it will ruin the base coat of acrylic paint maybe?)
It's getting the right thinness sometimes with vallejos paint i find AKs paint is just perfect for chipping with it being so thin it seems thinner than water! I've seen alot of model's whare the chipping detail is raised higher than the paintwork on some and it looks awful from closer up nice from a distance though I think that's the only time I'll use my AK paints there just to thin some of the ww1 sets the Ww1 British set is just perfect for chipping
Hi Andy! I was just curious if you could tell me what type of super glue is used for gluing parts that were already painted together. Thanks for any help you can offer
Hey Andy, huge fan! Just wondering if we could get a photo etch tutorial please? I've never worked with it before but really want a T34 with the bedspring armour for my collection!
Geesh Andy, are you putting it on heavier than you typically do or are you putting on more pigment than you like? I'm glad I'm not playing a drinking game!
So I've applied some wash in both mud and rust colors over my kit, but I notice that its left the kit very VERY shiny and sticky. Will this resolve over time or is there something I should be doing?
Looks like the tanks that were on display at Aberdeen Proving Ground (until they were moved.....) Unfortunately, they didn't have the resources to really take care of them, and a lot of them were dying of neglect.
Hi Andy, I just saw this video several times trying to replicate the tecnique with enamels, but I always have the same bad result. once the enamel dry everything became white!! there is a sort of chemical reaction between the paint and the product. I guess why? the procedure is the same: primer, acrylic paint, TS 80 to protec and then enamel. what I do wrong? any suggestion welcome!! best, Alessandro
Thanks Andy. It’s always a pleasure to watch a Jedi master applying he’s skills.
I’ve taken a lot ideas from this video, just need to apply them in practice now. Cheers
you have become my "goto" for tips/techniques and reviews. Thanks for taking the time!
I think this is the best "How-to Rust" video I have ever seen. Thanks a ton, Andy!
Thank you I appreciate the nice comments
I'm liking these step by step videos! Thanks a lot Andy!
That's great thank you for watching
Max Welliver thanks so much andy, i always struggeled with the rust and now my models are looking realistic
agree great video's.

Just started modeling again after a 35 year break and finding these videos very helpful, watched a few now and find them easy to follow. Thanks
That's great thank you for watching
Wow, 35 years! That's honestly crazy.
Good results, nice to see both enamels and acrylics used on one vehicle in one video. Thank you.
Before you started, the vehicle looked like a fake toy but after the weathering, it looks like a real vehicle!! Nice work and a really great kit.
Hi Andy,
You are a true inspiration to all us, modest modellers, and when In get brave enough I will try some of ideas.
Les
Thanks andy... been watching and learning from your videos for over a year now! Your tips have made modeling so much more enjoyable for me!
You will be sorely miss if u tude cut videos
excellent demo of an excellent range of products. I feel that I can't go wrong using these . get video once again Andy
an excellent tutorial on rust and stain, will certainly cross-over these techniques to model railroad and grimy steam locomotives.
U are amazing! Thx alot from Germany for these great Videos. They helped me alot.
Very cool demo Andy
Re-watched this for inspiration...right on Andy!!!
Working on my kit bashed Tamiya Jumbo......cool work Andy!!!!

Check out Ammo by Mig Jimenez for weathering techniques
Gary Moore meh same result... 3x the price
I love the chipping technique. I use Shokobraun usually. It's so simple and easy but very effective
I'm trying to build a large scale battlefield for my son in our backyard (20' x 12' area), but outdoors here in Seattle. With roads, buildings, sandbags, 1:18 scale.

I really want to see more off this, you make it look so easy and its not for beginners.........
love all your videos, thank you much for your hard dedicated work
Great demo on rusting great effects, thanks Andy
Incredible job as always Andy. Thnx for the tutorial
I was wondering if you could make a video about taking care and cleaning of paint brushes. Awesome video BTW!
I would like to see you do a burned out derelict tank using some of these techniques. love your work!!!
Very good as you left but I am interested to know what light you use to film, it is excellent
thanks for these awesome "how to", great interest, very well explained, hope to see many other vids of this quality !
I’m just starting out doing weathering effects and have a few questions.

Awesome!!! Keep the tutorials coming! Thanks for all your time and efforts!!
Thank you for watching
This is great! Rusting technique has always been a challenge for me. Hopefully my next armor project will have better results.
Keep up the good work! I'm loving this type of video,taking it to the next level!
thank you for watching
hey Andy i was wondering if you would ever do some before and after photos on these rusting and weathering videos. by the way love the chanel
2 videos in a day! hell yeah!
I know I had some free time to make videos , thanks for watching
Andy's Hobby Headquarters can you tell me a way to paint camo patterns at german tanks with a paintbrush and what colors do fit better at german tanks?
Mr P get an airbrush, you'll get better and satisfying results
I can always use spray paint
Spray Paint on a 1/35th scale model tank has its limits unless the spray paint is the base coat, with airbrushing that's where you want that detail and realistic appearance especially when applying camouflage patterns on a military vehicle.

Great video. I think it takes more skill to finish paint and weather than to build.
Great video, Andy! I have the Vallejo rust set and am about to start weathering Bronco's 1/35 A34 Comet Tank. You have given me much to think about.

Loving these videos Andy. Keep up the awesome work!
Thank you for watching
Awesome. I'm looking to do a rusted build soon. But question -
Are the scratches/rusting effects applied after or before your first flat/gloss coat?
Andy Thank you. rust painting technique. It is a great work of art.
Thank you for the kind compliment. I appreciate you watching.
That machine looks well used in the end :-)
I hope I can get an answer as this video is 3 years old! I just finished building a Panzer and it is German Grey as you know so my question is what color do I use for chipping? German Grey is dark as it is and I am really lost here. I have light rust wash but I need the chip color. Thank you!! 🙏🏻
Great video.. thanks! Making a three part vidoe for rusting a WPL B36 Ural truck and these techniques are great..
Very good demonstration, thanks!
For things like rust would you typically put that on before or after the final clear coat?
Great job! This model would be a good candidate for panel and or fender dents!
this is great! im gonna make my T-55 look like this
Hi Andy, I have question, could you make a weathering guide for beginners with out using all the MIG or Vallejo ready made products , just showing different weathering techniques.
Przemek L you want those kits for better results

Also it is cheaper if you buy the sets instead of the singular bottles. AK Interactive products are good as well.
Hi Andy, hello from Brazil! I like so much your videos, thanks a lot.
One question, where is your store? Have a web site?
you are an artist! great job !
There are lots of weathering supply choices out there (AK, Mig, Vallejo, etc). Would be a good video to see some comparison between products, if there is a discernible difference.
Fantastic tutorial brother!
This is amazing, thank you so much for this!!
One question: why do you use enamel thinner to smooth out ? ( i have an idea that if using acrylic thinner it will ruin the base coat of acrylic paint maybe?)
Very cool video. It's like watching bob Ross paint the end product is totally amazing.
Thanks Jan.
Hey Andy, nice demo mate. Model car guys would rust that much, if not more... a junker or a rat-rod. Def something I can use, Ta.
It's getting the right thinness sometimes with vallejos paint i find AKs paint is just perfect for chipping with it being so thin it seems thinner than water! I've seen alot of model's whare the chipping detail is raised higher than the paintwork on some and it looks awful from closer up nice from a distance though I think that's the only time I'll use my AK paints there just to thin some of the ww1 sets the Ww1 British set is just perfect for chipping
Is this being done over a matt varnish finish?
well ty for this video Andy I just got this same set now I can dive rite in and get a lil rusty lol keep them coming
andy, could you build a 1/35 scale kv1 ? It would be really cool
I just built this exact model. how funny. I like the technique as well. gonna have to remember this.
That's great thank you for watching
Great video, thanks for the great tips!
great video Andy, anything coming up on water / rain effects? cheers
Really really nice, I have an M109 howitzer going to try that on, great how-to tips
GOOD JOB ANDY
for make rusting...paint mix with water or thinner?
Good tutorial Andy, thanks :)
Great video Andy !!
Hi Andy!
I was just curious if you could tell me what type of super glue is used for gluing parts that were already painted together. Thanks for any help you can offer
I use GREAT PLANES CA but any should work
I have a question, how can you make shell makes from getting hit or bullet holes?
Hey Andy, huge fan! Just wondering if we could get a photo etch tutorial please? I've never worked with it before but really want a T34 with the bedspring armour for my collection!
thx andy how much does those rust paints cost
Great vid but i had a question when are you gonna upload THE elefant diorama
thanks Andy I learned a lot from this for my next rusted project
Thank you for watching
Andy do you stock this Vallejo rust set if so how much
Are this colors straight from the bottle or dilluted...?
Geesh Andy, are you putting it on heavier than you typically do or are you putting on more pigment than you like? I'm glad I'm not playing a drinking game!
So I've applied some wash in both mud and rust colors over my kit, but I notice that its left the kit very VERY shiny and sticky. Will this resolve over time or is there something I should be doing?
Will you do the weathering at the interior ?
yes
Great video, thanks!
This videos are great! thanks from Sweden. :)
thank you for watching
Subscribed! Thanks for the tutorial.
thanks, Andy. Great vid.
this was really useful thank you so much. 👍👍
im buying this kit next week
Looks like the tanks that were on display at Aberdeen Proving Ground (until they were moved.....) Unfortunately, they didn't have the resources to really take care of them, and a lot of them were dying of neglect.
Very informative, thanks heaps bud.
Well done dude!!!👏
Thanks Andy, Good Job
thank you for watching
How would you simulate pitted metal from rust?
good work .. i love it
amazing as always. thank you
super, merci, très instructif!
Wow, good work. Have shared it on our fb. Hope this fits
That's great Thank you for watching
Andy I am doing a civilian truck can I do this over a Gloss coat Great videos
yes it will work over gloss
The result looks great! Decrepitude adds a lot of character.
The untreated sections look completely unrealistic in comparison.
Hi Andy, I just saw this video several times trying to replicate the tecnique with enamels, but I always have the same bad result. once the enamel dry everything became white!! there is a sort of chemical reaction between the paint and the product. I guess why? the procedure is the same: primer, acrylic paint, TS 80 to protec and then enamel. what I do wrong? any suggestion welcome!! best, Alessandro
It might be the enamel thinner , try using a very small amount or try to switch to a order less thinner that might not be as harsh
Oil paints work using this same technique. Make sure you get opaque paint.
Can you do a video on interiours.
Mostly from tanks like this one but maybe from some planes
in the future I will
Andy's Hobby Headquarters Quick question, can i recommend or link your channel in my vlog that i recently created
Very good job!
I found it, finally 😄👍🏼
