checkerboards and you... a simple guide

With my facination of checkboards, I wanted to share my technique.  Here's the fairly quick way to get a decent checkerboard painted.  enjoy.  

Rust: my shamelessly copied tried and true method of weathering metal

I wouldn't dare claim this method as my own, but in all of my searches of the vast expanse of the Internets, I found this method (albeit, slightly tweaked for my application) of painting rust that yielded results far superior to the generic 'tinbitz then dry brush which ever metal top coat you want' method.  Gratned, the afore mentioned method is faster, but  I prefer this as a more organic representation of rusting out metal.
