The effects of rust and oxidation have become increasingly popular among modellers of all subjects and scales. However, due to the varied appearance of rust based on materials and environment, many modellers struggle to accurately depict it, resulting in unrealistic models. This book aims to dispel any doubts by providing a comprehensive understanding of rust and techniques for creating dynamic and realistic oxidation effects.

Authored by Jari Hemilä, who has dedicated years to studying rust effects, this guide offers new ideas, tools, and innovative techniques to readers. It begins by discussing how to approach rusting projects, covering planning and special considerations. With over 170 pages and hundreds of step-by-step photos, every aspect of painting realistic oxidized vehicles is clearly explained and demonstrated.

Rust comes in a variety of patterns and colors, and the book shows readers how to accurately recreate them. It delves into the tools and materials needed for rusty models and defines basic techniques. These techniques can be used individually for specific details or combined to create depth appropriate for each subject.

Additionally, the guide features example models finished using the techniques discussed, including various AFVs, a steam locomotive, submarine, and aircraft. These examples inspire modellers with different states of oxidation and rust.

Designed as an essential tool for modellers of all genres, scales, and skill levels, this guide serves both beginners and experienced enthusiasts. Whether you're new to painting rust or looking to advance your skills, the Modelling Guide for Rust and Oxidation provides invaluable guidance and inspiration for your next project.
