Model 2 - Barrel

Here is a rusty barrel. This looks to me like major rust which is destroying this barrel.
When I texture I hope to create an effect like this. I have got my model and unwrapped texture file. So i'll start work on it as soon as possible.

To achive the rust I could take a picture like the one you see here and sample a colour from it where there is rust. Using the new colour I have I can place it on the unwrapp where is needs to be for example the top/lid. To add more realism to it I will add a normal map where the rusty parts are so when rendered it looks likethe metal is being corroeded.
A damaged barrel is bound to have scratchers and dents on it so I will add them on the normal map to but only to the normal map.
