Thanks Guys!!I'm still learning my self Robert.I painted the axles and suspension flat black and the steering components and exhaust steel.I mixed flat black and rust to get a darker shade of rust and dabbed it on.Before it dried I shaved rust color chalk over it and in a minute or so I dry brushed it.I also used a light flat brown along with lighter shades of chalk.I'm not saying it's the right way but I like the way it's coming out...Here's the latest...
