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.

thank you mr.S

Hi Rob this is a great SBS mate. I have done two muddy models now, and allthough I'm quite happy with the result, yours looks much more convincing. This really looks great, with all those different shades and textures. Very useful!

Cheers

I second the motion to get this threads pictures back. If there is any way I can help please let me know.

Sorry fellas bout the missing images. Like T said there were some changes on my part which included stopping the use of PB after I installed a plug in on MSC to up load images direct from your pc. I kept maxing out my PB account that I share with my wife, and yes we have the upgraded one.

I will see what I still have on my pc and start or replace the missing images. I will first look the SBS because I now do things a bit different, mainly due to me using mostly acrylics now.
