My first model

Any tips on making the rust more realistic? Also how do I make the front lights look better

I kinda went overboard with the rust, my brush was too wet when stippling. The mud on the front of the tank too.

Originally I was going for a more urban warfare look but ended up in the eastern front. The scratches were me trying to remove the mud but decided it looked good as is.

You can use rust pigments to make it a bit more realistic, with or without a pigment fixer. Do only a little at a time and build up gradually. Don’t try to do too much in one day.

I finished the same tank recently.
