and I gotta hide those wires...
Hey Timey,
you haven't posted anything lately, what's up? It's starting to feel like a few of us hijacked your thread what's the latest brother?
Just been sidetracked with a bunch of other things that I had been letting slide, I'll be back with some updates soon!
your doing an awesome job on the build and I can't wait to see it complete.

gt, I had the same problem. My panel lines mostly disappeared, also. Which really sucks as I had not used my airbrush in years and spent $100 on a new compressor just for this project. Since it was my first time trying this rusting effect I just figured it was my own incompetence, so the thought of stripping it never entered my mind.
CRAP, where was this thread about a year ago when I needed it?:unsure
Actually think the rust looks quite good. If you dry brush the hull with a copper or gold, it will make the rivets and hull lines pop.
One thing to think about is rust moves from top of the hull to bottom. When rusting the boat, I usually have the upper and lower hull in place.
Secondly, rust happens mostly above the waterline as oxidation needs...oxygen. Rust will happen below the waterline when the hull is in drydock which the Nautilus was not.
However, the boat was assembled on dry land so there well could be a certain amount of rust everywhere before she launched.
Ah...We've kind of highjacked Timey's thread.....big time! Sorry dude. Would you have anything you'd like to post?
Wow...Oven cleaner...Never in a million years would I have thought to try that. I would've just figured it would melt it.
