Hello everyone,

Looking for some advice: working on a small dio set in Burma in 1944, and I'm portraying a M3 Grant moving during Monsoon. How do I make it look wet? The two figures are wearing rain gear,and mud is everywhere. Been watching my World at War DVD's, so I have a good idea of the setting, but can't think of a good technique.

a semi gloss paint finish. Wet paint looks darker so you will have to experiment some.

Gloss streaks on top of gloss dots with streaked and splattered mud and dirt. Any preexisting dust will be streaking and water will be running on top of water falling. Pools of water will form in any and all little places where ever water can get.

If it ain't raining, we ain't training.
