Weathered cranes

I found some time to finish the cranes.

For the yellow color (on the entire ship) I use "pale yellow" (no.81) as the base color and "dry brush" it with "trainer yellow" (no.24) to create a more brighter yellow without overdoing it. After this I give it "rust" (no.113), "dark gray" (no.32) and "aluminum" (no.56) to create the weathered look.

I also "weather" the wires/ropes by soaking them in a thinned mixture of "dark grey" (no.32), wipe them clean and give the same treatment again but now with a thinned mixture of "rust" (no.113).

Afterwards I slightly dry brush it with "aluminum" (no.56) and this gives an realistic impression of a "steal wire"..

The mentioned numbers are refering to "Humbrol" enamel colors.
