I have bought a bottle of spray on mud used by railway modellers. See below.
I am very impressed. It is a fine spray of die, which is water-wipable, at least for a while. The flow is easy to control so can be directed onto set areas, like tracks. It dries in about sixty seconds. This is a really fast way of putting mud on the tracks. I have used it for my 1/72 Eastern Front models: see pics.
The tray at the bottom shows what a heavy application looks like - really dirty, oily mess. Luvverly.
The picture at the top is a PzII. Germany were still using a few as a battle tank for Barbarossa, although it was rapidly phased out in favourof the PzIII. Opposite is a Russian T34/76, which was in production at about the same time. Every modern tank can trace its pedigree back to the T34, simply the finest tank of its era. Shame Stalin had all the designers, engineers, and instructors shot as dangerous radical thinkers.
Lovely !
ReplyDeleteNothing like a good dose of mud and grime.
Murky waters, Zzzz, murky waters.
ReplyDeleteInteresting product... but have you used it on the models pictured? I can't tell.
ReplyDeleteSome kind of before/ after would have been nice.

ReplyDeleteThe effect is very subtle - there are no sharp edges to see. Look at the tracks of the Ferdinand (SPGun) then at the top of the hull and you will see an effect - but no edge to catch the eye.

I might pick up a can of this and give it a try.

ReplyDeleteDear Igi
ReplyDeleteStoragemay be an issue.

And the fuel consumption too! :)
ReplyDeleteYah!
ReplyDeleteSo it's more like a mud colored paint, without any texture (like in the old Rough Coat from GW)?
ReplyDeleteLooks like it's the cats behind for smaller scales like FOW where pigments usually looks like someones been pouring gravel all over the vehicle.
