Very Kool!!! Good job.

I wanted to share the painting process on this to get the rust finish. I found this reactive paint made by a company called Modern Masters, really cool stuff. The paint I used on this contains iron dust and uses an acid to react with the paint to give the old rusted look. in the process pics you how it works, after the coats of paint dried I sprayed on the acid and in a matter of minutes the rust appears.

My kind of stuff, Robert! You did an excellent job. If it were up to me, all I would do is SteamPunk and faux finishes!
