Mud, Snow and Ice
Thanks MP.
Next Installment - Mud splatter and frosted tail end. Anyone who has driven dirt roads in the winter will understand what I am trying to portray. When its warm enough for the surface to get wet, mud gets splattered all over the back end of the vehicle, when the sun gets lower in the sky, there is no more mud splatter, but snow and frost accumulate in the arse end very quickly, and it adheres like a thick, but even coating. I really had to think about how I was going to do this, not the splatter, that's easy, but a mess to clean up, it was the even frosty coating of snow over the splatter that was the hard part. I can tell you I had to break down the AB numerous times to clean out gunk before I discovered the most simple solution! So are we ready?
Mud splatter is easy, just mix some pigments, thinner and gloss and load up the AB. Turn the air pressure VERY low, and flick the trigger back. It will spit and splatter, now just aim and flick over and over again and you will get thick gobs of mud! the fun part is cleaning the AB - 20-30 minutes easily!
This is what it will look like:
Next you have to mask the mufflers, they are hot and the snow and ice will not accumulate on them.
Then spray at very low pressure, unthinned MIG Wet Effects, before it dries, evenly tap on acrylic polymer (This is the stuff they use in nail shops to make fake nails, I use it at work to make retainers). Repeat multiple times to build up the thickness.
Here is a close up:
Hope you like the effect!
