A subtle essential modification ;-)

   Yes... now it just needs a nice scene to be lit. :)

I think you're proving yourself utterly wrong here: This one looks 
excellent! May need some more work to look like what you intend it to 
(I'd try for a zone where the paint is already blistered but still holds 
on), but it looks realistic nonetheless (this one would be iron without 
significant rust but a very bad paint job that is already flaking).

I think this is spot-on.

What about a dimly lit mud-walled chai khana (tea house) in some remote 
Afghan valley? With bearded turbaned Afghans in traditional garb 
lounging around a slightly indented samowar, on faded rugs spread over 
the floor...

See you in Khyberspace!

Thanks clipka,

Would have taken me a lot longer without your advice/help on the correct finish
and radosity settings.

Sounds like a good idea for a scene, I tend not to include people in my scenes
as I prefer to go for realism (not everyones goal I know) and have no chance of
achieving this with people in the scene (I know some people manage this but I
really have no experience of modelling people).

Other than that I like the idea, maybe will give it a go after I complete the
current scene I am working on. Then if someone else wants to add the people I
will post the source.

I have an area between the paint and rust which has a crackle normal to attempt
to add a flakey paint surface, it doesn't show up that well in this render so a
few more tweaks may be required (although I sometimes end up tweaking so much I
never finish anything).

The secret to that is actually quite simple: Use Poser, DAZ Studio, or 
any other such tool (though I currently know of none other than these 
two), and export the figures with PoseRay. There's no other sane way if 
you want to go for realism.

See? I told you that would be good starting points ;-)
