Yes, your weathering of metal surfaces is absolutely convincing. I'd be fascinated to learn how you achieve such an amazing finish.

Thank you all! I plan to start doing a couple of instagram and youtube videos soon on the way I think about things from a. weathering and painting perspective and show the products I use. Really really basic techniques, it's more-so just thinking about how something would weather in real life as opposed to just weathering to weather, and comparing it to real life reference of what metal you're trying to replicate. I can definitely try to create something soon.

I'm an open book to my techniques and products used though UNLESS it's something I've been asked not to share from another artist. That being said, the weathering on this guy was all me, and I can give you a basic rundown right now.

The steps are 1) dirty down sprays (tobacco, rust, black soot) 2) those same dirty down sprays watered down and splashed on with a chip brush (then stippled off with a sponge) 3) Modern Masters metal effects Iron stippled on with a sponge and left too dry 4) U-rust black oxide stippled on 5) Modern masters patina spray to activate the modern masters and the U-Rust 5) Dirty down rust (NOT the spray, the little bottle you can brush or airbrush).

It's really a mix of all those steps and then depending on the piece (like the shoulders) it's more basic. Silver rustoleum, hairspray, yellow Montana paint, and then a wet brush to peel it and age it. Then some black soot dirty down and black oil paint. The little greeblies on the front where the tubes will eventually connect were weathered with Dirty Down Patina, which is also in the little brushable bottle.
