Mud ? Does this look ok

[Robert1968]

I will give this way a try and it never hurts to try a diffidence way,
thank you for shearing this with us,

Thanks Monica ( you can also dilute it more for s dryer mud finish or keep wet, I tried dabbing on the off bit of gloss here and there to simulate wetter mud like Alan has done here and it works well.


Let me know how you get on

The way I give mud effects is thus:-
Small microwave plastic dish like the takeaway ones from Chinese


3 tablespoons of white PVA


6 tablespoons of distilled water


6 teaspoons of fake grass ( like farm hobby shops


2 teaspoons of tea leafs from a tea bag ( new or used not fussy )


Method mix the mixture together once all is tacky add 1/2 a teaspoon of revel dark earth ( Vallejo mud brown and sandy brown also )


Using a stiff brush ( old artists brush or old paint brush will do. Dip in mixture and liberally dab all over the underside of desired vehicle getting into all the wells where you think mud will form.


Once dry you can dry brush dark leather and dark earth and occasional light earth on higher parts ( simulate dryer mud splatter )


I used this method on my quad gun and tractor I posted here not long back and I'll be doing same routine on my hetzer ( Ardennes assault )


This works for me but I know there are lots of other ways out there

5 minute mud.


PVA where you want mud......


Soil from the garden...


Water....


Turn soil into natural mud, sloppy as you want.....


Drive/push vehicle, walk man, lead horse etc. through mud...


Let dry...


Another KISS principle.


Gloss only if it's just been in water. Mud dries very quickly.
