The lighter, drier sibling of wet splatter. The difference is not only tone – dry mud is an older deposit that has had time to dry and lighten. Layering the two is what gives a vehicle a timeline: dark wet splatter on top, pale dry mud underneath. The consistency is the same, so it goes on with a brush or an airbrush.

FAQ
In what order do dry and wet mud go on?
Dry first, wet second. Layers on a model build up chronologically and fresh mud is always on top – the other way round looks artificial.
Can it be used on a figure?
Yes, sparingly on boots, trousers and the hem of a coat. On a 28 mm figure apply it with the very tip of a brush or the scale is lost.
How do I clean my tools?
Water, as long as the material is still wet. Rinse the brush right after use – use an old brush for splatter, not a good detail one.
Can the texture be thinned?
Yes, with water or acrylic thinner. With splatter, thinning is the main control – a thinner mix gives smaller, sharper droplets.
