I used your method for a 'paint job' on an old 1-25 th. scale Lindberg Model T Ford coupe that I made into a rat rod. It has that lousy, junky look I was shooting for. In other words, it looks EXCELENT! Rather than throw away my junkers, I`ll just rust `em out. Thanks!
@@LonesomeTinkerbell thanks! Hey I have had some others who had trouble finding the correct pads to make them rust. The wrong pads will not rust. If you have problems, remember rusted nails, tin.... anything like that will work in solution
@@BamaScaleModels-vq7hk Yesterday I bought some steel wool and it was wrong. It didn't rust at all. So it seems it was bit too "high grade"? idk. Guess it must be the only ones you mentioned. Soapy ones or not, but that kind of pads it must be. Model making is learning by doing... ^-^
@@BamaScaleModels-vq7hk I now use a just found old cleansing pad, without soap, with vinegar essence and salt. Nothing is visible yet. Let's see what it looks like tomorrow.
I'm from Sri Lanka and i was trying to make one of😮 my model cars rusty but end product was not good. Then I found your video and did as explained. Wow it's really beautiful now. Thanks for your valuable video.
Very nice rust solution/paint for models. I would suggest buying extra fine steel wool instead of the washing pads. It'll be a lot cheaper and the extra fine wool will react with the vinegar quicker and create finer particles.
Thanks for sharing. I'm a woodworker and I have used this method for making wood look aged never crossed my mind to use it on plastic models but I will on my next build it looks more realistic than what I have been doing.
You can get plain steel whool at any hardware store lowes homedopot even walmart in the paint sector you can also use a 9 vokt battery and get it to oxidize faster i make irin oxide this way but i use a steel nail inplace of the whool
Nice tutorial. Your video was nicely timed, usually anything more than 10 minutes is starting to get long, but you will see longer ones. This is a great way to make a wash for rusting models, thanks!!
I’m having trouble getting it to break down. I was told to cut it up and also add peroxide to the mix. I never added salt to it. But I’ve had my mixture setting up overnight and it hasn’t changed much. It started to do a reaction at first but then stopped. So I guess I’ll just try your way and see how it goes
I do the same thing but i make a dust jar and mix i littel in to paints and i can still make a wash with it when i need for me it better for long time storage
Interesting video! Maybe a dumb question, you brush this on after you painted the vehicle or before? Other videos I've seen with salt technique they spray over rust color then sand thru the paint in places. Thanks
Yes a dual coat only never use gloss over rust. If the coat is to heavy then it will be hazy and white-ish if this happens then brush on little of the rust
Nice concept , but it doesn't work. I tried three times with no success. I followed the directions , but had absolutely no luck. I tried the SOS pads and also some old steel wool from a prior attempt to make rust , and both ended with the same results No luck. Too bad because as I said it would have been a neat idea.

Yes thanks so much.
Thank you!!! I shall use this method to make my next soviet SU 85 tank look rusty🙏👍❤️
Your welcome. Its tricky to find the correct pad but I found you can also use old rusted nails and any scrap rust to add to mix
It is THIS video which makes me subscribe to your channel! Very great idea! I want to implement that into my hobby corner. Thank you so much! ♥

I can't wait to try this! Those models are great.

That was pretty cool I'm about to make some of that up myself. I bet that would be great for exhaust systems underneath the car
Yes it's great stuff. Thanks

Alright man . Remember Steel wool is best. It's easy to get the wrong one . Good luck
Great tip! I did something very similar ahwile back but used brilo pads with no soap. I never thought about using salt. That is sooooo much faster! 😮
Hey thanks and yes !
Thanks for sharing your tips, im new in scaling and i love this trick and work really good and easy to work with. 😁
Yes thanks so much ! Let me know how it goes
👍👍👍👍👍👍
@@michaelhintzmikesminiature1812 thanks
Cool rust solution, I've used (spray) paint "spatters" but your method looks way better.
Hey man thanks so much
Thanks for sharing, I'll give it a try.
Awesome man it's easy
Great vid dude, I'm about to build another crawler RC soon enough, got the kit already and watching/reading all I can about getting the rusty look :)
Stay Tuned I'm gana be making a rust effect paint job. Thanks
Cheers man, I'll sub right away :)@@BamaScaleModels-vq7hk
Great tutorial! So what do you use the dull coat spray for?
A final coat to seal it all and to make it more dull
Wow that looks great. Want to do these to some of my rc cars. New sub
Much appreciated remember finding correct iron scrub pad is key
Good luck on your channel.
Hey much appreciated
👏👏👏👏👏👏
I do the same thing but i make a dust jar and mix i littel in to paints and i can still make a wash with it when i need for me it better for long time storage
Nice ! Thanks for that info
if you need steal wool go to the paint section in lowes or home depot its by the sand paper
Awesome
Interesting video! Maybe a dumb question, you brush this on after you painted the vehicle or before? Other videos I've seen with salt technique they spray over rust color then sand thru the paint in places. Thanks
Yes there are many ways on doing this. This solution is a wash, it goes on after the painted surface. Dusting can be added after
Thanks for the tip.. and a have a question where are you buying the pads..??
Thanks. Any store should have them. If you can find them without soap there best
I assume 0000 steel wool would do the same? Or any steel wool?
Yes for sure
Very cool method🤘🏻 do you just add a clear coat after it’s applied to hold it on?
No need to but you could add clear dual
I've no idea what sort of vinegar your using or the wire wool , cause mines done nothing like that and it's been in the jar for 12 hours ..!!!
White distilled vinegar and it's might be hard to find the correct wool. Pre rusted nails and or pre rusted tin... ect. That will work too
Thanks 👍 Question, can you apply a clear coat over the model without effecting the rust?
Yes a dual coat only never use gloss over rust. If the coat is to heavy then it will be hazy and white-ish if this happens then brush on little of the rust
Thanks 🙏
If you want real steel without "soap" you can use "steel wool" instead. Easily found in most hardware stores.
Yes
That is cool will have to try it thanks
Hey thanks
Awesome video! I took notes so I can give this a try...
LLAP 🖖
Go for it! Much appreciated
Thanks for the tip!
Thanks for the support
New sub great tip.
Yes make the tutorial please.
Hey thanks and ok man
THANK"$ WAY K😊😅❤L. !!! ... .. .
To save time washing the soap out just buy steel wool that is used by plumbers.
Yes exactly
That’s cool.
Thanks
I just tried this. 18 hours later and there has been no reaction. I used cleaning vinegar which is extra concentrated distilled vinegar.
Try rusted nails. Must of had wrong pad
So #0000 steel wool won't work?
I don't think so. But you can give it a try. Let me know in comments. I believe it's only iron
It'll work, I've made some with it
Nice
Steel/iron. Both are ferrous materials.
@@BamaScaleModels-vq7hk
You could really just use coarse steel wool without the soap…. Would save some time
@@vincentconte6028 indeed

Don't give up. Could be just type of wool I'm guessing. I use mine and make mine all the time.
It's called steal wool at every hardware store don't use the soap pads get the fine wool pads this is a very old technique
Thanks man
"Steel" wool actually.
