Challenge 482: Rusting Ironman

I visited London's 3D Print Show a month ago, at which I saw a wide variety of 3D printed objects - including, apparently, this Ironman full body suit.

Of course, it's been printed in plastic, and then painted. Which means that when it's left out in the rain the worst that could happen is that the paint would run off.

But since it's supposed to be made of - we presume - iron, can you show me how this suit would rust if exposed to the elements? And perhaps move it to a more appropriate location?

High res is here.

Re: Challenge 482: Rusting Ironman

Thanks Vibeke and Joesala for you comments. I think some of you might be doing this the hard way by trying to create rust textures from scratch, whereas all you need to do is get a suitable rust texture photo and then alt click (PC) on the ironman selection, and then click on the rust texture Layer below to get the outline of Ironman. Then it's a question of reducing opacity on either the rust layer or Ironman, de-saturate, and increase contrast.
