[MrEvilc0d]

This has worked amazenly well for a nice muddy effect on my Ork vehicle's. Kudo's to you!

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

@MrEvilc0d cheers mate

[CaptCamping]

good video, but i dont have an airbrush

[GearsOfWarAnimations]

@CaptCamping yeah it sounds silly, but i agree i never thought of real mud!

[wooders2310]

i never would have thought real mud for mud effects!

[TheDizmo]

Great tutorial, got the link from Juston TSB! Great stuff thanks for sharing MAC!

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

@TheDizmo No problem bud, glad to have helped.

[conn12347]

Thanks a lot for the tutorial i just wanted to say that i had a go with some pva glue and it worked like a charm. perhaps a cheaper alternative to hard coat

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

@conn12347 Excellent mate, cheers.

[karib33]

Thank you for doing this tutorial, I have a table full of vehicles that need it :)

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

@karib33 Glad to help mate.

[A4Express]

That looks great, I think I'll try it on my tanks. Do you know if PVA glue would work? Anyway nice vid!!!

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

@A4Express I should imagine so but would take much longer to dry.

[inspiredprophet]

[MoreDakka101]

so what you're saying is the way you do your mud effect is by putting mud on your tank? ;)

[comradet0m]

@MoreDakka101 It's so simple and obvious that only a genius would think of it.

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

@MoreDakka101 Yep ;)

[AdamShifnal]

"ard coat" can you even buy that anymore? I've never seen it? Would "Gloss Varnish" do, or not?

[WargameStudios2010]

@AdamShifnal ard coatt is gloss varnish bud,

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

@AdamShifnal Did you listen to the vid?

[TheWorldOfWarhammer]

could you use pva glue like craft glue or elmers instead of the varnish?

[fathertime13]

@TheWorldOfWarhammer i do but with sand

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

@TheWorldOfWarhammer Probably mate. Take much longer to dry though.

[dcbriscoe2000]

Cheers Don, Very informative. Still can't believe that you use real mud for this LOL, live and learn.

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

@dcbriscoe2000 Cheers bud.

[kurumaSMASH]

I like using decomposed granite with glue gives with it a heavy lumpy clay look

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

@kurumaSMASH Cool.

[Generalsplatton]

Great tutorial Don! May I suggest using a water based polyurethane, the kind used on furniture. It will be a lot cheaper than the gw stuff!

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

@Generalsplatton The ard coat was just something i had lying around mate, may as well use it ;0

[Chuffy1976]

Thanks for that I will be doing it to all my tanks. Do you use this on drop pods as well ?

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

@Chuffy1976 Not as yet but it could be done.

[3000whitedragon]

i will have to give it a go

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

@3000whitedragon Cheers bud.

[hutchy1k94]

Screw all of that fancy powder and splat on and leave for a week effects!

Go back to basics and grab yourself a handful of dirt. =P

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

@hutchy1k94 Cheers bud.

[Spiralvex]

holy cow! you mean you actually do it just like you've described in the past?! you sold me with the fellblade and been on the 'dirt for mud' kick since! awesome stuff

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

@Spiralvex Cheers bud.

[KillaMinis]

Darn, I can't get UK dirt where I live in the USA.... that means I can't weather like Marneus :(

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

@KillaMinis LOL.

[Absolute40k]

@KillaMinis your joke is funny, granted, but you can in fact get english soil in the usa

(im a bit of a joke smoker)

[Tarragonable]

Awesome tutorial, mate!

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

@Tarragonable Cheers bud.

[1996justus]

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

[OrcPainterNerd]

[Tarragonable]

@OrcPainterNerd Was that deliberate? it 'doesn't have to cost the earth'? xD

[MarneusAugustaCalgar]

@OrcPainterNerd LOL, do you think i should put it in tubs and flog it? LMAO!
