only the black aquilla won´t get noticed for real... shame about that...and after the muddy process that is about to follow anyways^^
Yeah, they went ovfer board with using only black for the Aquila decals. Grey would have also worked well.

For weathering? I don't think you are supposed to mix the paint and salt for that technique. I think you are supposed to just rub the salt off so that the color below shows through.

Nah for "Mud" with chunks of rocks or pebbles, I use salt mixed in, that was how i got that gritty look on the "Perun" tank.

he uses it to get extra grain in his paint... actually now he could get a bit of that new texturized paint GW does but i think he wants to keep the uniform look of his mud-look...
dsteingass wrote:oh ok...does the paint stick to the salt?
In fact the salt seems to absorb the paint.

You are using the feature related link, which doesn't work on Dakka, you should always click share, then click LONG LINK in youtube- copy and paste that link into the daka youtube brackets. You can't just copy and paste the url from IE.

i have to say in all earnest... shas you get way better with the mudaplication!!! that is in my view the best so far...the consitency and the pattern looks very realistic to me!
specially the front looks very cool... is the slight shine to it intentional or is it still wet? if the former i congratulate you! if not you should think aboput adding a bit of gloss in parts...
that tank is really looking as if it had just crawled out of a mucky pit!

Thanks Vik!
Yeah the "mud" was still wet when I took the pictures, final step is the badab black wash to do on it.
Oh yeah, my Bog is a good aesthetic, but I will have to get more "Graveyard Earth": as I am down to half a bottle of it, and plenty o' tanks left to do!
