OMG Dave!
Love the mud! And such a simple method to it!
(Note: Simple doesn't mean easy or fast.)

I am so envyous of this tank. When I get back home I'm going to do my best to try a paintjob like this for my DKoK Malc.

Althought I vote that he should have a stub cigar not a cig.
Makes him look more badass.

cigar was meant anyway... ^^

That's a great mud job! Makes me wonder if those Catachans didn't take a break w/ a few 'tall frosties" and go tearing ass across the back 40 of Farmer Brown's fields.

This is one of those "patience" steps- you guys will just have to either trust me, or doubt me until you see it completed

I see what you mean know, what worries me though is how the powder looks once the thinners evaporates

I also have been checking some stuff out in my local arts and craft store and have found something I want to try, if it works once I buy the stuff I will show and tell.

If it does work the way I hope, the effects should look pretty cool

There's some really good progress going on here! the mud looks really cool, but seams a bit too light for me bearing in mind that the yellow like camo is alot like the mud color. And you need a guy drinking and perpahs the gunner with a tatto?

How about now?

It's like no one here has ever seen dried clay-based mud on a vehicle and how it looks IRL.

Is it done yet then Dave I have seen clay dried mud on vehicles, I think you are on track get it no seriously I get what you are doing and looks good

German clay based mud was so green-grey though.

Dave... I was just thinking that alittle earlier so since construction has started here at work I had taken some referance photo's for people on mud.







This is only a few of them and I hope that they might help..

Sorry for the file drop in the middle of your thread..

I am sure Dave will not mind about that Silver after all you are reinforcing his point

Nice pics as well and you have sunshine

heh, no worries THanks for the pics.

I'm so sorry I left you all hanging on that dried mud step
It was mean of me to keep you there all day!



A drybrush of 50/50 Chaos Black/Boltgun Metal

Yes it was mean and unnecessary Dave I waited all day sat here waiting for mud to dry …… makes a change from watching paint dry mind

I like the fact you have not gone over kill here ……… or is this just the start

Is it done yet?

ah now i see what look you want to aim for... good looking ...tho still prewash concerning the treads i think?

Ah, it has touched dirt and mud, but not taken a bath in it as I have done to my tanks.

Looking good!

LOl..IT took a bath..a week ago

i hope it got well srcubbed^^

no I meant the tank..in mud..dried...nevermind

Thinned Skarskik green painted on the bottom of chips

Nice dent effect

now even dents? oh my... someone has to be accountable for all that punishment that tank went through... that poor sod probably get´s flogged for that!

I have an idea for the crew have you got a spare barrel ? if you have cut it in half length ways stick some wire mesh on it, then add a chef hey presto BBQ crew member how cool would that look plus build a cooler and some blaster beer

" Blaster Beer one shot and it will blow your head off "

OMG..>That's actually a cool idea LDD!

You don't need to sound so surprised Dave

Naw man..knock it off! - It's a GREAT idea, you're always full of em!

My name is Brian, and I approve of the Stormlord Back Deck BBQ. You could, for giggles, do a barrel-to-BBQ conversion REAL EASY.

I know sarcasm really does not translate through typing does it

If you need any kroot joints I have a few nocking around in the spares, I think I have some meat joints in the ogre bits as well

The beers though thats yours to work out , you could use some of those bottles you have

actually an "BFG ship" as a grill would be pretty epic.
