Make Scale Mud

In this weeks video I create four different types of scale mud for dioramas or war-game bases. The possibilities are endless when experimenting with the teqniques I try in this video.
**UPDATE** A small amount of mold did appear on the Baking Powder a week later.. I re-painted it and sealed it with some more Pledge floor polish! It may work or may not. I'll try just floor polish instead of water next time.

Thanks 👍😀

Cool, interesting methods!

[@modkitmayhem]

Thanks, worked out well 👍😀

Cheers for that. If you mix some sawdust with plaster of paris it'll give you some interesting textures. Just be aware that it will shorten your working time. Can always get around that by adding a very small amount of citric acid. I also crush some of my old set plaster and sometimes add that to the mix.

Cheers Jo, Thant’s great! I’ll try that in the part 2 video! Always keen on new ways of getting different results.

@@modkitmayhem The sawdust is like a poor mans Sculptamold lol. You want the consistency to be like cottage cheese. If you're stuck for sawdust buy a block for around £1 at Pets-R-Us or the like
If you're interested in trying to make your own Sculptamold Luke at Geek Gaming has a decent video

Adding the old plaster will also accelerate the drying time.

@@josta2010 I thought I'd try different grades of saw-dust and see what happens.. should be interesting :)

Hmm, living in Florida with warm/hot weather would not be great to use icing for bugs to enjoy.. would Isopropyl alcohol be a better liquid mix instead of water, just curious.. thanks for sharing tutorial..

[@modkitmayhem]

I was there in July, man it was hot!! Yes a plaster or grout mix would probably be safer than icing sugar ha ha
Isopropyl would be worth a try for sure! Probably would bead less.. I’ll give it a go next time. Cheers

Icing sugar mud - effective and edible

[@modkitmayhem]

Yes.. baking powder not so much!! 😂

[@peetharvey041]

@@modkitmayhem it'd still taste better than the grout

[@beercrazy5487]

have you tried talcum powder?
i know it makes half decent snow effects but how it would mix with other products to create mud i have no idea
maybe in the next part you could try it

[@modkitmayhem]

Cheers.. I’ll give it a go in Part 3.. worth a try 😀 I’m trying wood chip/saw dust for part 2 - looking good so far 😀
