I am working on a 1/144th scale diorama where a Panther is driving past a destroyed Nashorn which is pushed into the ditch. I want the road to seem wet, like just after a fresh rainfall in the spring. Does anyone have any tips on how to make track paths sunken into a muddy road? Also any Ideas or suggestions on other parts of my diorama is helpful.
Thanks
I used this stuff on my driveway called "WETLOOK."It makes anything look well,wet.It is sold in "home depots"I think or other home shops. But I dont think they have small tubs its mainly big tubs but you can try.
1/144th?
I would suggest making (or buying) a piece of styrene strip that is the same size as the “foot” of the tread and stamping it into the groundwork.
I made a quick and dirty photo using clay to show what I mean.
Something similar to what Rod mentioned above but probably much cheaper is
“Miracle Podge”. Have a look at my “lost in the Bavarias” dio and check out the road,
I wanted a sloppy muddy roadway as well so just painted this stuff on top of the painted road,wheels etc. I also took an old toothbrush and dipped it into a mix of this stuff and paint and flicked it onto the snow and the vehicle. I was happy with the result.
That`s an excellent idea Hatewall,I could see that working for all sorts of things to be pressed into the groundwork!
