Mud is a highly sought-after effect for modelers, yet many struggle with the techniques and products needed for its application. Achieving a realistic mud appearance can truly make your model stand out.

In this volume of the Modelling School series, we provide you with the knowledge, techniques, and products necessary to apply any mud effect to your models. Covering every level of humidity, texture, and appearance seen on both tracked and wheeled vehicles, this text equips you to create any type of mud effect imaginable. Whether you're aiming for dry, wet, or fresh mud, including splashes, drained muddy water, slush, or thick mud with texture, this book has you covered. We also explore typical mud accumulations in various areas of the vehicle, including the front, rear, sides, running gear, tracks, and wheels. Additionally, we delve into indirect mud deposits resulting from crew actions, and even show you how to create terrain with mud to enhance your models' settings. With techniques ranging from simple to complex, you can choose the level of detail that best suits your project.

Memorizing all this knowledge can be challenging, which is why we recommend keeping this title close at hand for quick reference whenever you need guidance on applying mud to your models. This dynamic book is packed with dozens of photos of real vehicles, providing a library of authentic mud effect references in high-quality, full-color photographs taken by Mig Jiménez and Ralph Zwilling.
