So here are the results from the last test.

All of the Mud.

The basing paste mix seems to crack if it is applied too thick, so that’s another nail in its coffin. That means it is either the structure paste or the AK Interactive Diorama Terrains Muddy Ground (AK8017). My preference goes out to the AK Interactive Diorama Terrains Muddy Ground (AK8017) especially since it gives a nice texture when just flattened out completely and then with the tracks of the tank wet and pressed in and the wheels wet and rolled through, I am getting a good appearance as long as I don’t use the paste too thin. And thus this is the winner.

All of the Mud.

Now that I have the texture sorted out, next is the colours. Since most of the WWII pictures I have are in black & white this didn’t help me much with the colour apart from the fact that the dirt looks pretty dark off road.

So finding pictures about mud in the Caucasus for some reason led to a lot of pictures of Caucasian women in mud….. ?

Whatever floats your boat I guess...Whatever floats your boat I guess...

But I did find 2 good ones that can help me get a good idea of the colour, so next up is more playing around with paints.
