The
remarkable state of preservation of the jeep led to the
idea of what it might look like if it had not been so
well maintained. I replicated the star emblem on the hood
and then applied a series of rust layers made with render>clouds,
color fill and the texturizer. The 'holes' were created
using a render>clouds layer with a threshold layer,
which was then applied to the star as a mask. Successively
larger 'edge rust' layers were then inserted below the
star layer and drop shadow layer styles applied.
