Hi there,

ref to my earlier post:

https://armorama.kitmaker.net/forums/81353&page=1

I have done some touch up on the mud splattering on the lower hull of the tank. This time round, instead of coffee powder and salt, I used grinded acrylic (powder form) and the effect is fantastic!

Pls comment, and thanks for looking!

















Cheers!

Hi Dan,

Your mud looks great and they look real.... remind me of those mud stuck to the tonner during my last ICT when it rains....

Another one due in Sept....hopefully it does not rain then.... :-)

Looks "Down & Dirty". Nice mud effect.

I agree ... the mud has great texture and looks pretty realistic, but needs some variation in colour. A few subtle washes followed by a touch onthe peaks with pastels usually does the trick. Also little bits of static grass stuck here and there shows that fresh earth was knocked up.
Nice clean build.

Nice build and paint.

Is it just me - or did you forget to put the lense in the tail light ??

Looks kind of empty.

And Frank,

I did tried a little bit of variation by adding flat brown to each different layer. But guess it did not really create the color variation. Will try as u suggested. Cheers!

Hey Dan

You can tell the difference between your previous post and now. What a great progress. I think you can see for your self that you made a great model.

Looks nice

Cheers Roel

Hi Roel,

thanks for the encouragement, still felt I could have done better (decals, tail light and all).. but also need to thank all folks here who gave their comments and advises.

Cheers!

PS: Now working on Karl Loki, will post pictures as things goes.. Cheers!
