Finishing everything in a row for shabby metal

Today, master friends, I’ll tell you about the method of finishing almost all things with shabby iron and the way to simulate welding with thermo-glue, a column from my past will be used as an experimental homemade.Let's start with a short introduction, after assembling the column at one point it dawned on me, but does it look like a post-apocalyptic one? No, it doesn't. there should be an effect of shabby metal and welding. "I wanted to achieve this effect:

Here's what she looked like:

And here is what it looks like now:

Devices and materials:
- Thermo glue and a gun to it.
-Aluminium foil
-Marker (necessarily permanent, black)

Step 1:
Let's start by simulating shabby metal, to begin with, cover the column with aluminum tape, creating small waves, align the film and get an aluminum surface with small irregularities.


Paint the entire surface of the column with a marker


Carefully we start to wash the marker with a fleecy cloth, but not too much should leave a little marker (the amount of remaining marker depends on the degree of metal fraying that you want to get)
Something like this should learn:


Step 2:
Imitation of welding with thermo-glue.

We cover the entire open part of the board with thermo-glue, create a “border” with thermo-glue and give it a welding shape (letting the thermo-glue point, but without the space between the points) and cover the glue with a marker.
It turns out something like this:

The result is a column in the style of post-apocalypse of shabby metal.
