                        Hi there
                        Here r sum pics of my Tamiya 2,5 ton cargo truck. 1/35 scale. It was a nice kit to build. I handpainted it with Humbrol Olive Drab and gave it a liberal muddying. I would like to get some stuff to put on the back like K Rations ,fuel cans ,etc. So what do u think. Thanx guys for the comments. Really appreciate it.




                        Keep well.

                        Hi there
                        Sorry about being so late for replying. {I only come online 2 maybe 3 times a week}
                        About the mud-I took some sand from my back yard, seived it, added water then applied it. I then let it dry and decided to dust the mud with a dark brown pastel, and presto, what u c is the result of playing in the mud.

                        Thanx every1 for the comments I really appreciate it.

                        Keep well.

                        I like it, I built one a couple of years ago but couldn't get the build up of mud that you did. Very nice job. Oil drums will fill the back fast and are easy to find. Tamiya makes a gun ring mount for the cab, too. Again, way to go!

                        Yes, it's amazing how many kits that just seem to appear out of nowhere in both my closet and garage. Strang thing is that the worm hole that seems to keep bringing me models also sucks cash out of my bank account as well...will wonder ever cease?Angel [angel]
                        Oh well! Great build! The mud is just sand and water with pastels added?

                        Wow, nice job. I really like the mud.
                        Did you just splatter the sand on with water and it stayed, or did you mix in some white glue? Either way, I never would have thought of using sand for that. The results are very convincing.

                        Hi there.
                        No white glue just plain old mud applied with an old stiff brush. Let it dry and then dusted with pastels.
                        Thanx every1 for the great comments ,I really appreciate it.

                        Keep well.
