I tested the rust antiquing set on different brands of clay to see if any particular brand worked best. I didn't see any significant difference. Here are the results, from photo top to bottom (left column used 1 coat of metallic paint; right column used 2 coats)

Premo (black)

UL Sculpey (white)

Fimo Soft (blue)

Kato (black)

Studio by Sculpey (green)

As you can see, it didn't really matter what color clay I used. (At least until I sanded off the finish -- see that here.)

See my blog post for a review of the Rust Antiquing Set & tips on using it with polymer clay to create a rust-like finish: Creating a Rust Effect on Polymer Clay

I couldn't work out it there was one or two ships or just loads of rusting bits and pieces. Thought this part looked like ribs sticking out of the sand?

The results of my 1st meet up suggestion on flickr ;) Thank you to Peter for coming along, without your duel flash triggers it would've been a fairly flat lit event... and thanks to a surprise guest Ria who'd spotted us while she was finishing up a wedding shoot and came along to take a look (and let us have a pop with her 5D MKII, too good).

The excellent image 'Wreck of Death' taken by TOUGEFC was the source of inspiration for the meet up. I really wanted to give something similar a go, maybe with strobes/flash and torches/flash lights.

As a 1st go, I'm really pleased with the results. Planning a 2nd shoot soon, if your interested I'll be posting in the South East Queensland Meetup and the Brisbane Meetup groups (and any others that people can suggest?).

I was appreciating the rust, then realized the background had apartments converted from a grain elevator and moved them into frame.

Rust for Kay. (: At Molokai sugar factory and museum

I didnt know which way I liked this picture better so I added both. I like the repetition in this one :)

I saw this rust on a power box and just knew I could find a suitable quote.

Rather thick piece of rusted cable found while on a train chase. It was firmly anchored in the ground, but nothing anywhere close appeared to merit this type of cable for support It was definitely cut off with something large.

These are growning up out of the mulch around our house. I almost missed them. We've had an abundance of all kinds of mushrooms this fall.

rusted orange brown metal corroded pattern texture, great for backgrounds.

Spectacular rusting turned this rather odd but otherwise innocuous billboard - advertising a gym - into something altogether different. What really startled me was that this billboard stayed in place on a derelict parking lot for years without anyone seeming to notice. The, er, appendage, just kept on lengthening! In Kyoto, Japan.
