My intention was to follow Martyn Welch's method of painting a layer of rust, then applying patches of Maskol, painting a grey coat over the top, then picking off the Maskol to reveal the rust beneath before adding some further subtle weathering.
In the end I think I was too random with my Maskol application and it looked more like a cow than a wagon. The subsequent 'subtle' weathering ended up turning into a complete covering of grime and rust so that there is barely a protoype inch of grey paint left anwhere on the body! This wasn't exactly intentional! However, I think the finished result looks pretty convincing - albeit for a wagon in just about the most extreme state of neglect possible!!

Anyway, here's a composite picture I just made up, where I've superimposed the photo of the model (above) onto a real background to see how it looks - and I'm pretty chuffed (no pin intended!) with the result. Now if only I can acheive a level of realism with my scenery to match this I'll be more than happy.
