How do people do for the bottom of tanks? I usually just stipple some mud on the bottom and then that's it. What do you guys do? (include pictures if possible)

I do the same. I make the mud a little heavier than on the sides.

I do almost nothing to the bottoms. My bases are snow to match a board Im working on. Have you ever seen snow build up on a car when its REALLY cold? Nothing sticks. Just a little slush. That’s pretty much what Im going for. Just a little slush.

I am lazy and usually just paint it to match the rest fo the tank and doa devlan mud wash.

I've never really bothered with weathering on my tanks, so the bottom is just painted the same as the rest.

I just make mine match the rest of the tank, but I also do a Nurgley "petina" over the whole mess, so it's hardly clean.

Mud guys impress me, but I don't have the courage to try it.
