Hydraulic Jack
Another weathering test subject. This time a simple hydraulic jack. What do you guys think?
What I used to weather:
Tamiya Black Panel Line solution
Tamiya Brown Panel Line solution
Mig Black and Light Rust pigments
Another odd brand Buff/earth pigment I got from a arts and craft hobby store.
An old Mig oil/grease solution.
Then topped it off with a dull spray coat from Winsor & Newton

Very convincing! Where is the jack from?
Charles King said on June 6, 2021
The jack is from the Italeri accessories kit. The scale is 1/24.

Looks like a real jack owned by someone who doesn’t invest much time in keeping their tools very clean. Bravo! Nice job!
Charles King said on June 6, 2021
Greg, Exactly. 😉
