Rust effect created by layering red/dark brown/light brown/orange/orange and tan/tan paint. Each layer was very thinly applied. Scotchbrite (fine grade) was used to homogenise the colours occasionally, then layering continued.

Further images are available via my Pixelfed post.

Preparation of the mech I designed in FreeCAD, then printed on an Elegoo Mars 2. Pieces still need to be cleaned up a bit before being assembled, and I am not sure on the pose I want it to be in when finished (it is designed to be multi posable, not just to be assembled in one particular position). Also, no idea on a colour scheme as yet. Guess I will just wing it!

I have more (close up) images if anyone is interested in them

I finished the Sea Harrier yesterday. My third finished kit. Had some interesting mistakes along the way, and it was the first time reviving such old decals (yellowed and broken). Learned a lot. Given the troubles I had, I am very happy with the end result.
