Steve Bailey AutorThanks guys.... I'll try to upload more pix when I can, I photographed much of my collection, but not all, and some that I DID photograph need to be re-photographed b'coz I'd just pulled some out of storage and neglected to re-attach some small bits that had come off, like the rear doors on my gold-medal winning Nashorn. Going to upload some of my aircraft pix soon, too.....

Steve Bailey AutorWow... again, thanks for the kind words, guys. Umm, let's see... rust effects and chipping... well, on something like exhausts, I have a variety of techniques I use, it depends on how rusty I want it, if it's damaged, etc. I tend to base coat in either a deeper mahogany brown or in the base color of the vehicle (usually Dunkelgelb for my Panzers), then set about creating patches of rust with micro-painting, combined with washes of varying viscosities using oil-paints or a blend of oil paints & enamels... I tend to just play with it til it looks "right". Have also occaisionally used both wet and dry pigments in conjunction with the above methods. As for the chipping.... again, I have no set pattern or method... sometimes it depends on the vehicle itself, for example, a Jagdpanther with nice big slab sides versus something that is festooned with lots of little details and not much room to work, like a Pz38(t) or a PzIII... I tend to just micropaint my chips, but have also used the salt method as paint resist. Its easy to over-do the salt method, so you gotta go lightly. But the colors vary, and again, depend on the vehicle and its color-scheme. For awhile I was using thin acrylic grays to begin with, then going back inside with flecks of the base- or camo-colors, plus oil washes and/or the so-called "filters"...but I've also used mid- to darker-browns for chipping as well. But I always go over them 3 or 4 times with other shades, or adding hints of rust (multiple shades)... the key is really mixing it up and having a wide variety of shades & tones so it doesnt look fake or too consistent..... Guys, I'm HARDLY a master at this stuff... and most of my techniques I copied from other great modelers along the way -- Makato Takaishi, Chris Mrosko, Tony Greenland, and hundreds of others... it just takes practice and imagination sometimes!
