Last night second run on the mud part. This time I use some products from AMMO. The Earth nature effect for the color, and European and Light Dust pigments again. The picture are for a few minutes after application last night, they will tone down during the morning. More pictures to come.

Hi again, working on multiples projects, so back to this one. I worked the wheels and retouch the rust areas with orange rust. Need to add the next layers of mud, but I'm out of micro balloons, so in the meantime I will continue with the small things.

Hi guys! here with a new update on the Horch, a new step on the dust & mud process. I got inspiration on a few Black & white pictures of really muddy german vehicles, so I wanted something like that. I used again a set of Ammo of Mig Earth Nature, Dust and the european and light dust to achieve this colors. Also added to the recipe micro balloons and Acrylic medium gel. Maybe Tonight I add some hints of burnt umber here and there, very diluted, just tabs to simulate some wet lines due to oil or grease stain on the wheel nuts.

Here the pictures.

Awesome work. I personally love the mud. Since the exterior is all gooey now, don't forget to add more mud to the ineterior floor. I know from personal experiance that no matter how hard you try, you can never keep the inside of a vehicle clean for long.

Keep up the good work.

Wet mud effect was also added but just minimal in wheels on some areas around the vehicle.

The metal parts from the hood cover are in a grayish-blue hue color, to simulate a replacement from and older vehicle.

Hi Pedro,

Very nice job. Definitely I like how you manage the camo by silly-putty, and the weathering. Heavy weathering is realistic in this case, being an ''old'' horch used by WSS during the last months of the war.

I follow your job ! Go ahead...
