Allright guys here's the pic of the mud, I used Ak Pigments mixed with plaster and there excellent mud effects shot off a brush with the airbrush:

Added some fuel stains

And spent an hour cleaning up and hand painting the wheel rubber:

I'm hoping to get this at least all together (wheels track and turret) by christmas, time will tell!
Thanks for stopping by.

Awesome John

Loving the weathering, especially the mud John

When you say you use plaster, is it just powder wall filler, or plaster of paris? I've got some AK mud & earth to use on my next project and wanted to know what to use.

Cheers mate

Cheers Spud, Leighbo it's plaster of Paris mate just mix it up with your AK mud effects (colour of your choice) and slap it on, once dry I stipple it a bit with a stuff brush

 

[Leighbo]

Cool, cheers John, I'll go hunting this weekend!

Cheers T, I'm thinking you should get streaming!
And thanks Spud, still flicking back and fourth between yours and mine checking if I'm doing things right lol, give me a Millennium Falcon or an X Wing and I could model them blind folded but things I know little about are sometimes challenging! Having a blast with this thing though ;D
