 Subject:  OH! The Rustless Welds!!!List thread.  
  
 Date:  Aug 17, 2002
 From:  Yuchung Wang 
Hi,

No nitpicking here! Just yesterday, I had the opportunity to get
really-really-close to a recently recovered thoroughly-rusted German WWII
AFV. It hasn't been restored yet, so all that is left of the paint are
cracked-faded-dried flakes loosely attached to the bright orangish-red
rusted surface with traces of zimmerit left.

The weld beads between the thoroughly (repeat) rusted armor plates are
bright silver. The only red spots on the weld beads are flakes of red rust
from the steel armor plates. The weld beads show not a single bit nor hint
of oxidation in any way.

Before, I also weather the welds on my models red, thinking that they rust
too. Now, I am not so sure I will do that anymore. It just doesn't look
right if the welds are rusted.

Cheers!
