For those that do not normally receive or purchase the ScaleAuto magazine, I strongly suggest going and getting the latest issue. Clay Kemp (who builds some of the slickest and most detailed race cars on the face of the planet) has a how to on weathering and mudding up a truck. It is the most realistic and interesting finish I have seen on a model yet.

i don't buy magazines anymore but if it was by Clay Kemp and it involved mud and dirt i'd almost guarantee that he used Mig productions powdered pigments. if that is indeed what he used i'll tell you guys from my experience with it that it's awesome stuff to work with.

you can do all kinds of cool stuff with that stuff and i'm sure it was probably well outlined in the article. Scale Auto usually has very well written articles and Clay is a good teacher as well.
i used the Mig stuff under the Rav4 and in the interior as well. for the interior i used it dry and just brushed it into the flocking on the floor. the chassis i mixed it with water and some acrylic airbrush cleaner and brushed it on wet. you can mix it with all kinds of stuff to get different effects!
they also have pre-mixed washes in different colors that i'd really like to try out. Clay has been using them for awhile and gave me some good tips for when i finally do find some. Strada Sports has a good stock of the Mig productions products if anyone wants to find it online.

If you want the same thing as MIG stuf but for a lot less $$$ took some dry pastel stick, use a 600 grit sand aper and reduce in powder your stick. now do like if it's a MIG stuff. I took this for over 30 years now without any problem.
hope this help
