Great responses, thanks!
I meant a rust-brown-color as opposed to a rusted color, if that makes sense. :-)
I'll try some of these combos on some practice models and then put them on the speeder bikes.
I still am flabbergasted by how the more recent movies have race scenes where the camera is on the driver more than facing forward on the vehicle, showing the driver's-eye-view. That was a big part of the thrill for me with those speeder bikes on Endor. But, I digress....
Right now, my little boy and I are working on the Legions AT-ST. Just did a first oil/black wash on the assembled walker this morning. Barely got the kids to school on time - barely.
He is so thrilled. It's going to be hard to give it to him... I want it, too...
