I'm so excited to pretend like these are all my ideas and I knew about them all along!

[@BillMakingStuff]

You...

[@TinyRobotED-tm9rs]

Lol

[@ZenoVoids]

So that’s how North Of The Border has so many ideas😂

[@jayandry3392]

Scrape with an exacto knife blade. It makes a lot less of what you need and it’s easier to change the color.

[@CaptIronfoundersson]

Audience: Hey, Bill? How do I paint stuff to look like rust? Bill: Use rust colored paints. This is the hard hitting crafter knowledge that keeps me coming back.

[@BillMakingStuff]

Yeah, shouldn't have to show it really

[@StudsonStudio]

I'm glad you said you want to lick it because that's all I think about when I see good weathering effects. I'm gonna make up a big batch of these for the trick-or-treaters on Halloween.

[@darthwotsits4508]

" Latex allergy like your dad's", a Haaaaaaaaaaaaa! Classic!

He's a rusty boy, in the rusty world Rust is drastic, it's fantastic You can sponge on the wear, rust gets everywhere Imagination, rust is your creation Come on, Rustie, let's get dusty.

[@BillMakingStuff]

Beautiful

[@SuperVoodude]

As someone who still fears weathering and dirtying up their props: I can't wait to use these techniques in three years when I finally get over myself lol

[@BillMakingStuff]

Yeah but it usually makes anything look better so don't worry

[@frogking9514]

only one year left to go until you can try out these techniques 🤞

[@thoughtfulwatcher]

These kinds of tips are useful across the board. I can see myself using them on miniatures, terrain, sculptures, the neighbor's car. The possibilities are endless, really.

Glamour shots of rust are the best type of glamour shots! This was super handy Mr. Bill. Thanks as always for this top notch tutorial!

[@BillMakingStuff]

Thank you mate, glad you liked it

[@chicgeekery]

Paint or school glue, sprinkle on flour, let dry, tap the back to knock off any loose flour, paint over it.Makes a great rust!

[@DjangoThunders]

So amazing. I can almost feel the weight of the metal.

[@sheilacaldon2371]

That was so entertaining! Thankfully, it was also an excellent tutorial! I got to laugh and learn today. Thank you!

[@yoshioharuki5760]

Was looking for a quick tutorial on how to paint rust and was pleasantly surprised to discover this gem of a channel. Not only was this video helpful, it was also entertaining!

[@szili76]

Came for the tutorial, stayed for the humour ❤

[@kentellis5384]

Outstanding master of rust shares his deep knowledge of the subject of rust! We are all squealing in our seats as our Rockstar shares his madness.

[@BillMakingStuff]

Yeah, just... paint it in rust colours

[@TerrainTronics]

your textured paint rust is phenomenal. It really suggests rust that's bubbled under the paint to begin with. Excellent stuff Bill. Thank you for your effort to teach the rest of us.

[@BillMakingStuff]

Yeah I'm gonna use it all the time from now on

[@ultimattdoom]

All of the above is the way to go 🙌

[@BillMakingStuff]

thank you

[@MagnaRyuuDesigns]

Cornstarch (Corn Flour) makes a good filler for a texture paint as well.

[@BillMakingStuff]

Ill try it

[@harrysox2815]

This was very helpful! I was taking notes like a college student studying for an exam lol. This will be put to good use.

[@BillMakingStuff]

Best tutorial I've seen on KZbin. Thank you!

[@ratrider8093]

This might be my favorite miniature channel ! Funny, great tutorials with simple and effective techniques that I will actually use, creative editing. Fantastic work!

For the algorithm!!!! Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill making stuff! Alrighhht.

[@abjealva]

Yep, you're an ARTIST and if you didn't know it already, here you go!!!!!!!!!!! Your funny way of explaining makes your videos enjoyable to watch, and I subscribed right away. You can also use ground coffee or anything for texture, like corn floor, all you need is imagination, and you can make anything. Great work!!!!!!!!!!

[@ChristianSupiot]

Gotta say, your self-deprecating narration is pretty soothing.

I've always started things off afraid. Prop making, 3D printing, portraits, etc, but every time, it's thanks to these that i managed to get over it and give it a spin. Much appreciated

In mathematics and computer science, an algorithm (/ˈælɡərɪðəm/ (audio speaker iconlisten)) is a finite sequence of well-defined instructions, typically used to solve a class of specific problems or to perform a computation.[1] Algorithms are used as specifications for performing calculations and data processing. By making use of Artificial Intelligence, algorithms can perform automated deductions (referred to as automated reasoning) and use mathematical and logical tests to divert the code through various routes (referred to as automated decision-making). Using human characteristics as descriptors of machines in metaphorical ways was already practiced by Alan Turing with terms such as "memory", "search" and "stimulus".[2], bill.

the salt method was used by the armor modelers years ago I saw it in Fine Scale modeler its great seeing things being shared across hobbies like that

[@thomasgross8289]

Hobby grade Rc's also, just about all of these.

I‘m here to give this episode the love it deserves! Thanks for that awesom Tutorial!!

[@w.rustylane5650]

I make my own iron oxide (RUST). I take about 4 rolls of 0000 steel wool and put them a quart jar of white vinegar and set it in the kitchen window for about a month. After the steel wool forms rust, I pour the mixture into a large pan (I use my old darkroom 11"x14" stainless trays for fixing photos) or a shallow baking dish. After about 2 to 3 weeks when the mixture completely dries, I use a single edge razor blade to pulverize the contents into a fine powder and store it in little snuff tins until ready for use. Every batch I've made comes out a little different colour. Since I model HO scale, I never use any weathering powders; instead I go to the dollar store and buy women's makeup in the little plastic cases. For $1.00 you can get quite an assortment of colours and they adhere better than any chalks (pastels) or weathering powder. Of course you still have to fix the model with flat lacquer (I usually use Dullcote), I also buy white chalk and crush it up and use acrylic paint or food colouring to get the colours I want. My rust looks real, well, 'cause it's REAL RUST! Cheers from W Rusty Lane K9POW in eastern Tennessee

[@phyllisgardner2100]

Thanks for the great ideas. Almost threw away that very make up. So glad I found your suggestion!

The rock salt with some crushed up pieces works real well. But yea, more for an airbrush.

[@spinafire]

I also like using cinnamon with PVA glue. Your models smell tasty afterwards. A DIY mortar and pestle option I always like uses an ice cream scoop and a ceramic cereal bowl.

[@BillMakingStuff]

I actually found two large stones on the beach I was going to use... but then found the pestle and mortar

There are also metal effects paint with iron in them that you spray a rust activator on and it makes real rust

That's problem solved. for the custom 'rusty' painting frame, that I will be making for one of my oil paintings, which is - funnily enough - titled "Rust". Thank you, Bill! PS: I really hope this comment helps with that algorithm thing. Whatever that is.

[@mandoky1647]

Top 3 effects are the best representations of rust. You got rust with paint flaking, heavy surface rust, and rust if it were polished with a wire wheel.

[@backflipsimmons]

I love your dedication to rust. I've been RUSTling up some of my own metal goodness in my projects thanks to your inspiration.

Didnt know i needed to use this to make one of my resin gnomes look rusty... But after watching i feel a deep need to rust up some gnomes!

[@BillMakingStuff]

Sounds like a plan

[@jherazob]

Yeah, excellent metal decay right there! I believe that for the toothbrush part of the salt method it works better if the brush is moist. Also worthy of mention is the sponge method, basically the paint method but using a sponge to apply the rusty colors, looks more random and "natural" Edit: Fixed the overabundance of "sponge", clearly needed more coffee :P

[@danielsanchez4147]

Great tips!!!

[@BillMakingStuff]

Glad you think so!

Great video, really helpful in finding the right kind of method. Personally, it's all about experimentation and finding the right technique you're happy and skilled with. I've made my own powders, tints and paint techniques - it's like a form of alchemy and I love it!

Came to see the rust, but was not rushed. The powders were pushed until we were bushed. The fluid was masked without being asked. Cracking effects all...well, I guess chipped and rusted, really. All in all I rate this 10/10, would rust again. Cheers!

Great ideas, but Here in Australia a company has made it easy to make the pastels into powder, the tool is in a rectangle shape with a piece of mesh that is in the middle and you rub the pastel on the mesh and you get a lovely powder weathering powder and you use a bonding medium and you got your rust or earth, and build up snow and ice. cheers.

[@BillMakingStuff]

I never have anything interesting to say... I still say stuff. Thank you.

[@reversegoat3260]

Whats nice is that each technique give the rust a different flavor (coming from an amateur rust taster). The "just paint" give an indoor rust where its not exposed to elements, but metal has a thin rust. The textured paint is like a rusted hull of something found by the sea. While the powders give a rusty look you'd find the desert. Wonderful stuff.
