Just made a cheap base for my Tiger.i used real mud mixed with white glue,and added some heki grass to the edges.i dont know how the mud will turn out once dryed it may go a dry dusty colour let you know tomorrow when its dryed out.
going to add a commander figure and 4 supporting infantry, and a kursk road sign.also need to mud up the Tiger a lot more
any way ill see how it goes.
cheers

That ''reall mud trick'' I will try that once too.
Th weathering is just perfect.

Very nice. The Tiger is very well done.

One thing I would offer is to add abit of mud/dirt color to the grass itself. Or a bit of pastels.

i'll wait to hear about the mud idea. Sounds like it would work.

Excellent job... great Camo paint and wethering.

If the ground work goes tos dry dusty coloring.. GREAT!

If not, you might want to use some of the color of the ground work - grass and muddy road - on the lower hull and running gear. Right now one looks wet and muddy (the ground) and one looks like it had not rained in months (the Tiger)

Exccelnt job all the way around.

Congrats.

So what happened when it dried up?

Putting some figures on the Dio would certainly bring it to life.

I tried the mud and glue idea a while ago just to see if it worked. It didn't change colour, but it did crack a little bit.

For my own reference, im guessing you wouldnt recommend using real mud for dios?

It looks very good for a start! Don't forget to muddy it a lot! Keep it on, you're on the right track!
Cheers and happy modelling!

I use wall putty instead of real mud for my muddy dios... you won't know what's in those mud that you dug from your garden. When the putty dries and cracks.. just apply another layer over to cover it up.. it works just fine.

Anyway... nice build you have there Tigeriv. Just have to cover the tracks with a little mud and it'll look better.
