Thanks guys Hi Nick - mud recipe, I glued sand to the model, then applied another layer of white glue/water to bond it on properly, after spray painting the blue grey paint the tracks and area around the tracks in Vellajo flat earth, feathering the paint as you go away from the tracks, then mix a suitable pastel chalk with water, to the consistency of muddy water, apply this with a brush, let dry, done.
Well done Dan they look superb!

ReplyDeleteThe mud on the tracks is fantastic. You wouldn't have a post somewhere that details the technique that you use?

Hi Dan, great looking stuff. Being Victorian era I reckon you should give them smoke funnels and names starting with HMS.
