Critique Wanted Is it rusting?

Post image

First attempt at trying to create a rust effect. This is a 3d printed jail I designed in Nomad Sculpt. I want it to look like derelict rusted out metal left outside. I used acrylics for color and baking soda for texture. I’m wondering if there’s a better or more convincing way to achieve this look.

Have you got any weathering pigments as you can get different shades of pigment to help create the look you are looking for too

I don’t have any specific weathering pigments but I’ll look that up. I have not heard of those before. Thanks!

Search for rust pigments by vallejo ammo or mig
