Ah, yes. The tip-over effect. You just haven't lived until you've baled hay
in a field with a 7 degree slope.
I think that the biggest weathering effect is the dusty, grimy look. That,
I've seen on tractors, earth movers, etc. Rust streaks, not hardly.
Yc. Wang mentioned seeing rusty looking UN vehicles. Just remember, these
were painted white, so every speck of dust shows up. Add a little red clay,
a viola, insty-rust...
I'll take the less is better school of weathering any day.
