Back again and hitting the hay soon… but first a few shots of information
@mage I’d say start with your Averland Sunset mixed with a light brown as a basecoat blocked in for the area you want to turn yellow. From there work up your detail in highlight with the Averland and then to the highest points with something like Flashgitz Yellow as the highest highlights ½ and ½ and maybe push with Flashgits with a smidge of white. You’re not going all out to straight white because these guys’ll be worn and weatherbeaten. Once that’s done hit it with your brown tone wash. That’ll knock down the highlight but still be able to see that there are distinct features.
From there use that stipling technique I was describing around the area you want rusted. The Hobby Hangout had a great feature of rotted out white armor. In this case the reddish brown and then darker brown together blend and just show off another aspect of it. Since you are using yellow as your base the value scale shifts slightly. Here’s a palette that you can look over custom to where you might want to take your colors as well as some rust images that might be of use. I’ve shown the tool before and it comes in handy sometimes.
If you’re working the dry pigment with the rubbing alcohol always work from darkest to light. The amount is always least to more on top. It works along the lines of the axiom used in oil painting of “Working fat over lean”. Use the most amount of fluid and least of pigment and then slowly add more on top of what you have. Don’t worry about any clumping or mixing of the pigment. That’s the effect you are going after.
