The Beast, post apocalyptic machine.

[Criamon]

Hey guys, this past weekend I bought a toy digger in a low cost store, my intention is to use it with some post apocalyptic thematic rules with Ground Zero Games miniatures in 15mm.
The painting process was very simple, the figure was black spray primed and painted with a piece of sponge blister  with brown and boltgun metal. Then you brush touches to various shades of brown and finally I apply inks and pigments for simule corrosion over time.
The figure is from Ground Zero Games so you can see the scale.
A greeting!

How do I phrase this to really elicit my feelings...?

Ah, yes:

That is utterly bad ass. Well done!

Lovely. Is that freehand on the coca-cola sign? If it is it's bad ass.

That's an AWESOME use of a toy! Was not expecting that!

Thanks for your replies!!!! You're going to get me blush, jejejejeje.
The Cola sign isn't freehand, its form internet and print in light cardboard.

PD: Thanks for the link Grant

Mason, LAF Legend, has pointed out some stuff called Modelmates Rust Effect.

It's not available in the USA, so I ordered some from Oz 2 months or so ago, and I just got it 2 weeks ago. I tried it on an old wreck and it's AMAZING. So much easier than painting rust. Definitely try it out.

I used it last night on a car axle and wheel in the hands of a mutant ape....it is astonishingly good.

Since I brought it back from Salute, I habe an urge to paint everything rusted.
