A fantastic finish Si. The mud looks OK to me - if it ain't broke.....

Hi Si
If you do experiment making mud look wet I'll be interested to see the results. It does however look great as it is :thumb2:

Hi Si,

for damp mud just tint with a darker brown like VJ german camo black brown

for fresh wet mud then as has been said - gloss/satin varnish or Tamiya clear smoke should do the trick

A mix of dry, damp and wet in different areas may look even better - dry crusty on wheel centres, damp towards edges and wet on tracks and edges then splashes of wet generally by flicking brush, sort of thing.....

Hi Si, you can always add different layers of oil paint as well and the guys above gave some great advice as well. And try to keep the colortones 'cold', this will really give the viewer that wintery feeling when looking at the model. I think the hull has this already but the dry mud has a bit of a too 'warm' hue to it. But when you will make it look like wet and damp mud that should really blend in. Looking forward to see this unfold.

Cheers

Si, Nothing wrong with the mud effect, for wet, small patches of gloss should suffice, but otherwise looks good as it is.
Cheers, Mike.

Wet effects is"okay" but you cant beat oils for the wet look. I am sure you will come up with something. If you havnt thought about it already, you may want to put some oil leaks from some of the wheel hubs to add interest.
