Simple question, truck A or truck B, which do you like better...

B FTW.

Nice job on bringing out the highlights. I assume you just sanded it a bit??

Or drybrush maybe.. got me thinking!!

Close, I used the steel brush on my dremel... I agree with you 100%... Do you think it would be a problem though having that exposed metal?

Depends what kind.. it may actually rust naturally. Further the experiment by putting it outside for a bit and see what happens. If it rusts that will be as close to the real thing as you can get.

Of course, if it's aluminum...

It is a Lionel truck from the '50s, and trust me, they rust

That is a good idea, I have a truck that is really shot... Maybe I will go through the same process and stick it outside, just to see what it would look like...

I am real anal about rust though

Oh. Then why are you doing it?

You could also seal it with Dullcote to keep it that way.

LOL, I was trying to remove some rust and just went crazy and liked the way it looked

But really though, I have nightmares about rust encapsulating everything metal I own
