Customised rusty/infected Hau

I took a rusty/infected Kanohi Hau and made it a bit more realistic looking.
First I used transparent matt acrylic paint and rust particles. After drying I applied a wash with black acrylic paint.

It looks very interesting! How did you make it? throw it in mud or something?

A glass with metal, water and patience.

When there is enough rust:
-shake the glass
-put the water in a different container
-after the rust particles have settled at the bottom put most of the water back in the glass
-let the rest in the second container dry out and collect it
-repeat

Next time please use a red hau, they’re much cheaper… The infected one is rather rare.

I only have multiple of the infected Hau but not the red one.

The techniques used are great, but man that breaks my heart. I totally understand not owning a red hau tho, I only have a silver one (non-shiny).
