Slave 1 - AMT Model - Rusting and Streaking [Part 5]

This is the step I couldn't wait for.  Time to use some crusted rust and streaking effects from AK Interactive.  This ship, abandoned on a hot, dry planet wouldn't rust  a ton, the hull having been made for outer space and the effects of planetary entry and exiting.  Where the hull was removed or pulled back would expose the internal structure to elements it wasn't designed to hold up against though so it would rust the most.  Sand and dirt would pelt the ship with the occasional rain  washing it down in heavy streaks.

I started with the rust effects, dark, then medium, then light colors to show the newer rust on top.  The deeper heavier rust in the areas not protected by the hull.  At the joints where the hull changes shape, sand would wear at the weld joints and paint and some rust would form there.  The damage spots would begin to rust also.

The layering can be seen in the top hatch section.  Sections that would stay wetter in time would have newer rust.
