You would get a smoother transition between colors if you basecoat it first, ie. Dunkelgelb or Grey. The mud and washes blend in a little more in my opinion.
Nice job though, you're ready for MTD.

Gotchya, I'd say it worked out pretty well.

It's a little difficult to tell how realistic the mud looks with the tank sitting on a neutral surface. You might be a little happier with your results if you put the dirty tank on a muddy base, so that the whole context works together.

I used glue, sand, paint, then dry brushing a bit...

BUT, does it look realistic at all? Thanks for the comments!

Again, looks good for your early attempts, you'll only get better with time.

What technique did you use for applying the mud?

My other post applies here too. Once again I dearly wish my earlier models looked like that..... Truly. The point is your experimenting and thats awsome... Keep up the good work
