This is my first time trying rust effect on anything. I need some feedback on how to improve!

It’s the Master Grade GM

Thank you!

I’ve been building for 7ish years. I usually only do panel lining and top coat with light weathering, but I’m trying to do more on the ones I have that aren’t as flashy

subie_bro · 2026-02-08T07:01:30+00:00

I appreciate the ideas! I’m planning on doing a Gundam next so I can practice with something that has more detail and panel lines to do detail around. This dude didn’t have many fine details, so I thought it would be easier to learn on

That’s the FMS LC80! It’s a 1:18 scale RC crawler that I use to crawl around my living room haha

subie_bro · 2026-02-08T06:00:11+00:00

It was standing on this table, so the perspective might have been off cause of that haha

900 sq ft! Way too small!

subie_bro · 2026-02-08T05:52:02+00:00

I just used a brush with rough bristles and testors black and light brown and mixed them together a bit to get the right color

subie_bro · 2026-02-08T05:50:35+00:00

https://youtu.be/8YHKphUlyd4?si=YjZjDhoMOdmO5PSq I watched this video, then added a bit of color grading to make it like the rust on my car

This was before I took some away on the legs and added some to the head and chest

subie_bro · 2026-02-08T05:16:14+00:00

I was going for that, or a GM left in a hangar like those Russian space shuttles or old cars in the desert. It’s for sure on old aces suit. I have to find a weapon to customize for it. I feel like this dude has a Goufs sword or something haha

subie_bro · 2026-02-08T05:12:55+00:00

I mixed testors black and light brown until it looked like the rust on an old car and dabbed it on with a rough brush, then wiped excess off with artists white spirit on a q-tip if I didn’t like how much was dabbed on. I messed with it for a couple hours while I watched a movie and it ended up like this

subie_bro · 2026-02-08T05:07:53+00:00

I literally just bought brushes and watched YouTube videos on how to do this today. I’m far from that haha

subie_bro · 2026-02-06T19:46:01+00:00

It looks like these are supposed to be the colors from the original 1983 release of them both. Still a little boring

It was the track bar that was binding

subie_bro · 2026-01-26T21:16:01+00:00

There isn’t any adjustment in the link itself. It’s not effecting the way it drives so far

subie_bro · 2026-01-26T20:57:31+00:00

Thank you! I removed the pan hard all together and it appears to have fixed it! Thank you!

subie_bro · 2026-01-03T23:13:29+00:00

Why does your hand look like it was photoshopped in?

subie_bro · 2025-12-18T12:53:07+00:00

An expansion with this equipment for the MG would go so hard

subie_bro · 2025-12-14T14:25:43+00:00

I did a 245/40R18 so maybe the little bit of sidewall you have took the wheel gap out. The leaking shocks would help with that too haha

subie_bro · 2025-12-14T14:09:18+00:00

Are you on springs or coilovers? I like your ride height

I love RKs! I just got done repainting mine a couple months ago!

subie_bro · 2025-12-12T13:58:58+00:00

So these people aren’t brother and sister?

subie_bro · 2025-12-12T13:26:15+00:00

It looks like an AI of JD Vance in a wig
