One Down One to Go

Love it!! Looks very realistic and all the stuff inside just adds to the details to look at.
If I may, I would suggest just adding a little light, thinned burnt sienna /rust wash around the large orange chips.....it would really bring them to life even more????? Just a suggestion - still looks great anyway.

Thanks Ian !!!
Actually I did just that .
I airbrushed an extremely thinned red/brown color as a base .
Then brush stippled a red/brown [ unthinned ] , followed by a terra cotta color for the lighter colors around the dark red/brown .
I'll go back and add some more terra cotta around the deeper rust sections to get more of a transition from the badly rusted areas to the lighter colors .
Thanks man .
