    Live and learn: I may have over done it on the weathering. I think this is a case of “less is more”. I’m going to let it dry a bit and then go back with a light drybrush to bring back a bit of the green. That said, this technique is really cool, just not for this specific application.

      I’ve found that in terms of area less can be more, while in terms of brightness and saturation you can sometimes really pump it up.

      My main rust recipe is sponging gently with foam, starting with brown, then dark brown red, and up through oranges. Very light passes. Streaking fluids from companies like AK can be good if you plan on doing a lot of rust.

      If you want a real expert, I’d watch Night Shift and try to adapt some techniques.
