The mud and vegetation build-up is outstanding — especially the clogged drive-sprocket areas. Very realistic!

I post some photos of the finished model.The next step was to give on the model a coat of satin paint to protect the weathering work and because I wanted give on the model surfaces the appearance of classic wet winter months.Then I mounted the tracks I had previously painted with the Dark Mud of AK Interactive reference AK023.As a final step I recreated the mud on the tracks with ground model mixed with pieces of dried Poseidonia and small pieces of hydraulic hemp mixed with water and glue and later when everything is dry I painted using always the Dark Mud and color to dry I made on the train rolling a wash with the Wet Effects of Ammo of Mig Jimenez.

I finished painting the tank crewman who will place on Jagdpanzer.As I still remember it is a figure produced by Evolution Miniatures to which I replaced the head with one from a set Hornet all painted with Humbrol enamels and oil colors for the face.

If my figures looked a third as good as that one I might make the effort to do more of them! Great job.

Here finally finished the Jagdpanzer IV positioned on the base.After fixing on the surface I completed the realization of the mud in those areas where the tracks and terrain are united.To recreate this new part of mud I added a mixture of modelling earth, glue diluted with water a part of dry seaweed and hydraulic hemp cut into small pieces and the color Dark Mud of AK Interactive and that I then lying on the surface and on the tracks.Once this mixture is dry I applied with a brush a veil of the Wet Effect of Ammo Mig Jimenez that creates a realistic wet effect.
