Ammo Modelling Pigment Medium Rust

The Ammo by MIG Modelling Pigment Medium Rust is a specialised weathering product designed to help create realistic rust textures and oxidation effects on scale models and dioramas. It acts as both a pigment binder and a carrier for rust tones, allowing modellers to build up convincing layered corrosion on metal surfaces.

It is especially useful for armour, vehicles, ships, and industrial models where exposed metal would naturally rust over time.

About Pigment Medium Rust

This medium is formulated to work with rust-coloured pigments or as a base for creating rust effects directly on models. It helps pigments adhere to the surface while also allowing smooth blending, streaking, and layering to simulate real corrosion patterns.

It is ideal for replicating everything from light surface oxidation to heavy, flaking rust buildup.

Features

✔ Rust-toned pigment medium for weathering effects
✔ Helps bind and fix rust pigments to surfaces
✔ Allows smooth blending and streaking effects
✔ Builds layered corrosion textures
✔ Suitable for heavy or light rust applications
✔ Compatible with other Ammo pigment products
✔ Ideal for enamel and acrylic weathering systems

Skill Level

Intermediate to Advanced

This product is suitable for:

• intermediate modellers learning rust effects,

• advanced hobbyists creating realistic corrosion,

• and diorama builders working on aged or abandoned subjects.

Control of layering and application improves final realism.

Recommended Use

✔ Rust effects on armour and vehicles
✔ Ship hull corrosion and salt-weathering
✔ Abandoned industrial dioramas
✔ Weapons and metal equipment aging
✔ Chipping and exposed metal simulation

Application Tips

• Apply in thin layers for realistic oxidation

• Combine with rust pigments for depth variation

• Use streaking techniques to simulate rain wash

• Layer different rust tones for natural variation

• Seal lightly if long-term durability is required

Perfect For

• Armour and military vehicle modellers

• Naval and ship modelling enthusiasts

• Diorama builders

• Weathering specialists

• Realistic ageing and corrosion effects

Realistic Rust Made Simple

The Ammo by MIG Modelling Pigment Medium Rust allows modellers to recreate natural corrosion effects with ease, adding depth, texture, and authenticity to any weathered or aged modelling project.
