Another one, Wow Dominik you keep surprising us !!
Love the back story. I bet the bottles of beer helped Horst.
What is the salt method you used ?

Fantastic job once again - you are a master in such creations that really do tell a story! 👍

The chainsaw 😄 I love the story. It amuses me every time I see it standing in your shelf. I enjoy the pictures.
Horst sometimes is a name for not that clever people in Germany - after Kevin *lol*

Lovely build! You should tell Horst about the Kreislaufwirtschaftsgesetz!👍

:-D Thankes mates - much appreciated! As written in another diorama: some special models have to tell a stors. My upcoming (and last former uploaded built) Chrysler will tell a story too.
Nigel, you can use salt for "rusty" paintjobs. Ofcourse, there are a lot of videos to find. but i will try to explain.
First paint the body in a base rust color. than use different colors like ockre, orange, sand and speckle some spots with a sponge
if it is dry, make the model wet with water
than place salt on the parts you will have rusty spots
let the water dry!
now paint the body with the color you will have
after it is dry, take a brush to remove the salt.
Two problems to keep in mind:
- if the water is not dry enough, the paint (today i use waterbased paints) will get off while you rub the salt away with a brush
- if it is too dry, a lot of salt will blown away while paiting with an airbrush.
the second problem you can minimize, if you use more salt on the spots and "calculate" the amount that will "blow away" during the painting.
since it was my first attempt with this methode, i used acrylic paint out of a rattle can...for the orange. That worked "terrible" - because the acrylic "glued" the salt underneath the layer of pait *lol* . that wasn't planned that way and i had a lot of work to get it clean.

Thanks Dominik, I've never heard of using salt before - something to try. My method is to use real rust from degraded steel wool filtered to powder form.

Interesting Nigel. I've done salt effect on a sheet of plastic before to try it out. I used table salt, which resulted in some pretty regular patterns. I think I need to break the salt up into more irregular pieces next time. I am building a tank so maybe a nice subject to try it on. I really like the rust on this type 2. I was looking for a picture of my truck before I repainted it, can't easily find one, but it sure looked similar to this one. Great work!

your welcome Nigel. I only used once real rust also....and spieces (also once on my gone 58 Thunderbird)...always trying new methdes but also come back to methodes i "can". Meanwhile i use cracking fluid and airbrushcolors (see my WIP BMW 507). Modeling for me is continuing lerning process

Album info
May I introduce:
this is Horst.
Horst likes to dispose of his garbage / rubble illegally. This time he used a chainsaw to gain entry and saw off the sign "No debris unloading".
That he got caught in the fence with the bumper doesn't bother him.
Well, the model was my first attempt at aging using the salt method. It has more or less succeeded.
Various components have been added to put it in the right place. The chainsaw is self-made, as are all the little things in and around the cab.
Why is his name Horst? HOR is an old district in Baden Württemberg 😉
