An orange-brown gouache made to recreate dry mud / clay soil effects on vehicles, bases, and scenery—easy to shape, soften, and rework with water.
 
What it does
Builds convincing dry mud tones for undersides, tracks, wheels, and dusty ground areas
Lets you control edges and deposits with a damp brush (water-reactivatable)
Great starting tone for earthy weathering, especially in matte layers
 
How to use
Apply neat for stronger deposits or dilute with tap water for lighter earth staining.
Blend and shape with a slightly damp brush to place mud where it “would really collect.”
Once dry, re-activate with water to refine transitions or lift excess for a more natural look.
 
Best for
Tank/vehicle undersides, wheels & tracks, Warhammer bases, dioramas, ruined roads, clay soil terrain.
