It would help to break up the larger areas of rust. With smaller patches of rust you wouldn't have to worry. Did they use primer on vehicles back then or was the power of lead paint suficent. O for Awesome though, I'll have to give the technique a go. I would agree with two or 3 tones of rust, Make more mid tone and just add a little ochre to one and a chocolate brown to another.

In the future (for those German 1:56th armored cars) I'm going to tone it down a little. But this Opel is meant to have been rattling around the back streets of Cairo and out on rough desert trails for a good while, changing owners regularly over bad Backgammon throws.

If you wanted me to be critical - which I feel foolish being as I haven't tried something like this so what do I know - then I'd say to try a two colour approach to the rust, but then that might just be going a little too far, as the old adage goes, if it looks ok for gaming, then it's ok for gaming, or something like that!
