AK Interactive Burnt Rust Red Pigment (35mL Bottle)

AK Interactive Ocher Rust Pigment is a product designed for adding realistic rust effects to scale models. Here’s how you can apply it:

Preparation:

  1. Ensure your model is clean and free of dust or grease. You can use a mild soap solution or a dedicated model cleaner for this purpose.
  2. Choose your application method: AK Interactive Ocher Rust Pigment can be applied dry or wet.

Dry application:

  1. Use a round brush to gently pick up the pigment. Tap the brush lightly to remove any excess.
  2. Dab the brush onto the desired area of the model to create small rust patches. You can build up the layers for a more prominent effect.
  3. Once satisfied with the placement, use a clean brush to blend the pigment and create a more natural look.

Wet application:

  1. Prepare a mixture using AK Interactive Pigment Fixer or white spirit. The ratio of pigment to fixative/spirit will depend on the desired consistency. A thinner mixture allows for washes and streaking effects, while a thicker mixture is better for creating heavier rust deposits.
  2. Dip a small brush into the mixture and apply it to the model. You can use different brushstrokes and techniques to achieve various textures and effects.
  3. While the mixture is still wet, use a clean brush dampened with clean fixative/spirit to manipulate and blend the pigment.

Tips:

  • Always work in a well-ventilated area.
  • Use disposable gloves to avoid staining your hands.
  • Practice on a scrap piece of plastic or model sprue before applying the pigment to your actual model.
  • AK Interactive offers a variety of weathering products like washes and streaking effects that can complement the Ocher Rust Pigment for even more realistic results.
