After using an old Pz IV turret to quickly test the new Green Slime products from AK Interactive, I went ahead and started using it on one of my rust bucket models. I am using both the light and dark green to simulate moss and other green stuff seen growing in the woods.
After letting the "slimes" cure a couple of days I then applied a thin dark wash, also from AK Int. The wash helps tone down the bright green slime and adds some dimension to it. Enough talk, here are a couple of pics of what I've been able to create using these new products.









There is still more to be done but you can see what I think this product was made for.

Great stuff Rob!
This reminds me of a neighbours old SAAB. They basically let it rot into the ground at the back of their house- it wasn't quite as far advanced as the decay on this halftrack, but the green over the rust certainly looks similiar- i.e. very convincing.
How many coats of green are on this?

Rob,

WOW......I'm speechless.......that is just stunning work.
Even after working with you in person I still have a LOT to learn from you!

Your work is coming out beautiful, and I agree with your thoughts on what the slime is meant to be used for. I keep going over images of vehicles like this in my head when I see the AK slimes.

Rob,
This is a work of art....realy. Taking things to a new level. Stunning man stunning.

Thanks fellas.

Karl it's only two layers of each of the two slime colors. I first sprayed a mist coat in some areas like the side panels, then applied it heavier with a brush. I let everything dry/cure for two days, then removed excess with a thinner dampened brush to get to where it looks now. I still need to add more moss(?) and some of the lighter green spots using Tamiya acrylics.
I've invested more time in this model than most that have done. The reason is the experimenting with the AK stuff and also the detailing of the motor area. It should look more convincing once on a base.
Like I said, these products are great and it's fun to work with.

Cheers
Rob

I think the moss is pretty good as is- however if the inside of the vehicle is exposed totally (I just assume you aren't going to put a tarp over part of it or something??) and the rain gathers on the floor I think that would be a nice environment for moss to gather. I wouldn't say it 'needs' to be added though as the small branches you have growing in the rear look damn good.

Impressive. I wonder if it would work for the keel of ocean-going vessels.

Well, that brings it to a whole new level Rob. Simply stunning. I picked up the 2 Slimes for a Schnellboot I'm slowly working on but I see it has a much wider use.

Your work never fails to amaze me, thanks for posting this one up.

Retiredyank,
Many, many,many uses for all of the AK products. But yes, all maner of boats are an ideal use of the "Slimmy Grime Light" & "Slimy Grime Dark". Rob, has the idea though, thinking outside of the box. Although they are perfect for water craft, Rob has shown us a whole other use. These products are perfect for buildings and anything wood as well.

Thanks for checking it out and for the comments. Iain you know I love to experiment and try new things.

Rob, the finish is amazing. Looks like something you walked up on while walking through the forests of Europe.

The only thing that hits me is that it seems awfully odd that the front tires are still holding air. They should be deflated/off the bead and sunk down. I know that would require some sculpting, but I think it would really set it off.

Feel free to tell me to piss off.
