A study in the beauty of decay. These photos of rust were taken on a day I learned that a family member had been diagnosed with cancer. I'm sure I departed from my usual practice of photographing beautiful landscapes in an effort to remind myself that you can find beauty even in decay if you look deeply enough. The subject is rusted corrugated aluminum sheets.
I've have a variety of Citroen CX parts soaking in a Molasses bath to remove rust. Yes, it does work and rather effectively. You need to use a feed grade Molasses, which is available at your "local" Feed Store. I mixed a ratio of 1 part Molasses to 3 or 4 parts hot water. Let the parts soak for about 2 weeks.

Notes: This is one of the better figures in the TSR line and one of my favorite rust monsters as it's pretty cute and hews close to the Monster Manual illustration. The green, chipped "paint" on the shield is actually an ultra thin layer of Sculptamold paper mache/plaster combo. I'm really happy with the pink/red eyes. A gloss coat gives them a bit of realism/emotion. I tried green, glowing eyes at first and that was a no go.
