Small tutorial on textured rust.  Comments on this one is really appreciated   I am using an axe hand of the Exalted hero games day 2009 model to demonstrate my way of texturing and painting rust.

Although not nearly as much as I would like lately. This is rather obsolete WIP picture of a nearly dead Boromir. Besides everything else this is my first LOTR mini in about 4 years. Ignore arrows, After taking this picture I realized how much out of scale they are and removed them

 Well, I am not dead just yet. That was a long time without updates. This last month was very busy and no, it had nothing to do with elections. No fun for me , although at some point I seriously considered going back to Missouri. Well, I finally found some time and worked on my avatar.
