When you want to make mud for your dioramas, a good way to make it is by mixing acrylic paint and baby powder. Mix them together to your desired consistency, with whatever color you choose. You can add small railroad rocks for extra texture, if you choose. For ground cover, you can spread it out and then put on your grass, or leave footprints/track prints on it with your model. Then just dab it on your model in all the appropriate spots, and you'll have a nice, convincing looking mud scene. |
