This is what the field currently looks like. I still need to highlight the cracks in the center portion of the field, but I wanted to get the rust and moss stuff done fist.

My girlfriend is not satisfied with how the rusty grates look on the photos above.
She wants more pockmarked and heavy rust.
That means that I have to add a few steps to the rust tutorial above
Step 1: Paint metallic
Step 2: use a sponge to stipple on Vermin Brown
Step 3: same as step 2 but with Blazing Orange
Step 4: Thinned down Sepia ink
Step 5: Stipple on a small amount of blue ink using a rough pig hair brush. Repeat if more blue is desired
Step 6: Stipple on PVA glue (using a small brush and only sporadically)
Step 7: glue on fine sand
Step 8: use watered down dark brown to color the sand
Step 9: use a sponge to stipple on metallic paint
Step 10: Stipple on PVA glue (using a small brush and only sporadically)
Step 11: apply MIG standard rust pigment on the PVA glue
Step 12: Stipple some more metallic paint on the edges to accentuate them, as well as on the areas containing the sand, but just enough to color the raised tops of the sand grains.
