This is another 'how I did it' moment. This little quick 'how-to', is for a future project I am planning a 1:24 scale diorama, which is going to involve some major scratch building and many detail objects. So stay tuned. If you know me than you know how I always like to find a cheap method of making things. It may not be the most perfect method, but the end results looks amazing. Within my own eyes, at least. 🙂 My methods used here are: A cashier paper roll I brushed a mixture of light, dark rust, white, black, and grey pigments until I was satisfied with how it looked. Then I took some odorless thinner and dabbed it on the entire roll covering every part of it. A tip is to not soak up the pigments too much. I went against this tip, only when I wanted a 'caked-up rusted' look, as in one of the photos. Let it dry. After the thinner had almost dried up completely, I sprayed on a dull coat on the entire surface. ...and Voila!      |

Now how in the WORLD did you come up with using a paper roll to get this kind of end result? I've come up with stuff before out of thin air but you had to go to the frickin' moon to come up with this! Blown.............. .away.....  |

This is one of those ideas where you say “why didn’t I think of that?”
Such a simple idea but it’s very convincing.👍

Do you have any plans for it? Or is it just a study in the process?
