I'd been looking at doing a wreck suitable for my Jihadistan table for a while and I finally got it finished using an Imprint Model BMP-3. It was inspired by wrecks in Afganistan, which feature in a lot of documentaries but after seeing "Afghanistan- The Great Game" in May I was hooked, or possibly obsessed in that way which we so often are.

Plenty of waffle and a few more photos: http://6milphil.wordpress.com/2012/10/16/rust-in-peace/

I've been looking for that rust effect from modelmasters, but to this day, the local modelshop doesn't carry it.

(they do carry the other modelmates stuff)

Is the Vallejo one any use?
Boyes in Scarborough usually have, dust, oil, assorted grime.

Dunno.
I do have the Lifecolor "Dust & Rust" set, which I have yet to use, but I did have one of those rust colors already and it's very good. (nice color and it dries very mat). I also have MiG pigments rust.

The modelmates solution just looks better and simpler and I really want to try it out sometimes.

Rust effects looks very good. And imprint model look good as always.

Have you seen ak interactive weathering products? IMHO They looks better than modelmasters stuff.

What an excellent looking piece of terrain... and a subject most gamers would balk at, miscast or not.

That's a really nice wreck you have there Phil! I remember watching the same series and the vids of the blown up tanks, seems downright eerie they are just left there to rot.

Looks a lot like the lifecolor set I have except AK comes with 2 dark shadow tones while lifecolor comes with 2 dust tones.
Nevertheless, I still want to get my hands on that rust fluid. It just looks so simple to use.
Yes, you may call me lazy

Why not just order it direct from modelmates or one of their dealers?

Ultimately, I guess I will. I just think it's nice to support the local model shop(s).
