rusty pastels

Try mixing the chalks with a bit of water to make a paste and apply ,they stick better and you may be able to mix the colour you want more easily.Sort of make a thin wash and add in small doses until it looks right.

carefully cut the following from his sprue and glued it together:

If you want to make it look real rusty I must admit I'd start with Humbrol matt enamel - red brick and then after it had dried use humbrol orange matt acrylic thinned out to a stain to drip on and run down. Pastels are too subtle to colour the base coat - but they may do well if they are put on top of a dried matt acrylic red or orange shade. Give it a try and let us know your results...
