SBS- creating mud and muck effects

Thanks Dan and jackwagon

thing is that because I didn't use glue or resin there is no texture left. I just added some wet mud effects and will take pics...pics to follow

This how it looks dry. By adding a dark earth pigment or the AK mud earth effects it will dry darker than this.



in the next steps I wanted to build up different shades of muck without using pigments, yet. here I mixed the two together at 50/50 to get a lighter dirt / dust tone.



I then went with a slightly darker color wash in the thick built up areas.








I mixed some plaster with the same color and the earth effects and spattered this in places with the AB



I then applied some thinned earth and mud effects to the same thick areas.
Here is what we have so far.










The last thing to do is add some fresh wet mud/muck using the AK fresh mud mixed with a few drops of wet effects t get a wet damp look.















I'll go back and add some spatters using the same mix. The wheels and tracks will get the same treatment.

going to have to read through this properly over the weekend as this really is good stuff Rob

Now if that isn't mud ?!?! Cristal clear explanation once more ! Thanks for sharing Rob !

Hey fellas, thanks for the comments and sorry about the late reply. It's very easy and fun to do. best thing is that when it's this mucky you don't have to go nuts painting and weathering the lower hull.
cheers

Sorry bout the pics everyone. Will try to get them back up. Seems we had toooo many views and exceeded the width.

Yet another superb SBS Rob. You make it all seem so bloody simple.

Edi..your welcome my friend

Erik...Hey dude, nice to see you on here, and thanks bro glad you like it

Paul...tank you, and it really is pretty easy. This is actually the first time I added this much muck to a model. The E-75 had less.

Wouts...Good to hear it's useful my friend, thanks why I do the site and this forum, to share what little I know. And thanks.

Seems some account settings have changed in the past 3 years!! LOL! I'm sure the Boss will dig up what he has or share the codes to the new vault where the pictures are hidden soon!

For starters, there is a little bit of information on this in a Duel thread here ---> modelerssocialclub.proboards.com/thread/4011/duel-ii-stug-iii-complete Sorry, you might have to click through a few pages but I believe Rob showed some stuff as did I about application.

I am sure Rob will dig up what he can for the missing pics here soon too!!
