That should help some with that rust and stain set.

You see that name Scratchmod on the instruction sheet in the upper L/H corner?

Cool, that was the best one I found, I wanted more half paint, some rust and silver, but I failed

Well, happy with some, not so much with other parts.

I think the blade is okay - That is Kosher salt (feelng a bit Jewish today. Oy). I think it looks like what I wanted for dirt on the blade, so I may leave it and set it with matte spray. Ya think?

For this? I don't know. The "hood" did not come out at all the way I was hoping. I'll remove that tomorrow and start again. The rest? Ehh...about 67.473% happy. Drawing rust with a fine brush is different.....

Hey, Lyle, try using little pieces of sponge to dab on some acrylic paint to replicate rusty areas. It really helped me. 🙂
