We had a local model RR sale for a friend that has Parkinson's. I picked up the Walthers Vulcan Manufacturing kit and ordered the traveling crane to go with it. It arrived a couple weeks ago and as most Walthers kits it's a low parts count and goes together quickly. I sprayed the 'corrugated' roof with Tamiya gray printer and scribed horizontal lines. Then, using Tamiya masking tape, I masked off either side and used a sponge to simulate rust on the individual panels. After the rust dried I went back with a gray mix to further define the panels.�

Great job on the roof!  I think you got the right 'mix' of rust and metal.

I agree with Dave that you got the right mix of rust and metal.

Thanks, I am going to use this photo as reference for a roof I need to weather.

Love the roof.  When you stated you went back over with a grey mix, was it with the sponge technique or airbrushed?
