Great work, always nice to see variations on a theme.

its been so long yes. Others have passed in the line of getting done ( a few panthers + JS2 + 1/35 )

Ok folks. So I have been at it on the lower hull



Usually I use a mix of thinner and Oils ( abteilung etc) to make a slurry mixg, dab it on, and then right after dab on a varity of pigment colors .

This time I used one of Ammo mud jars and mixed it into a ( sorry for the 'nasty' photo )








Added some splatter



And some darker mudspots

Wheels need some care also











Sand and gravel fixer to keep the mud from faling of at once

Stian this looks so realistic. Am I correct saying your mud slurry is applied and then pigments are dabbed onto the wet mix to keep them in place?

[maxmekker]

that is correct
It's my 'trusted' method on the lower hull

On the wheels I use the Tamiya texture paint dark mud, it really makes a good mud texture when you apply it , and after 'stabb' it with a stiff brush

Deciding on skirt combo

Stian I really like the second one, but the first and third look most practical and sturdy

Pic 1 and 2 for my vote!
Love the mud effects Mr Mekker, I do a similar method but use diluted PVA glue as a fixer and mixing medium.
