Review: great mud for a great time - my review is closely tied closely with the photos I have added. the biggest thing that I use this paint for is my Mini's, and I find that it is perfect for adding a layer of life to them. I have tried to show off in the photos the different ways to apply the paint if you are painting a trench warfare style army/battlefield. it is a way to add texture to anything. if you look at some of the photos included you will see many different textures (from the light mud of the officer and retinue and the regular guardsmen), that is because the paint is textured and it feels like the paint was truly mixed into mud. it can also be added to just add texture, in the picture of the artillery piece, I have a small layer of mud on the floor boards, and even though there is no difference in the color, there are a massive difference in the texture. all the bases I had used on the minis are bare basses with the mud and a touch of grass, any and all shapes and differences on the bases is just the paint, basically remember that the paint is thicker; which helps because it feels more like mud. I hope this review helps a little while you are thinking what is possible, even if not written the best. Review: Good - Very realistic looking mud! It also dries quickly. ## Features - Weathering FX range, like this specific Thick Mud products, offers the modeler a medium for depicting the effects of exposure to weather and extreme climates on vehicles and armor, simulating muddy surfaces and more on historical and fantasy models​ - It is formulated with permanent pigments and water based acrylic resins, and offer a great variety of scenic possibilities such as the creation of spilled fuel, engine grime, lichen and humidity, and crushed grass, mud splashes and fuel stains, each developed to represent a specific effect on vehicles and armor and to show their operative history under harsh conditions - The products can be applied directly on the base, dry rapidly and most of them permit immediate further manipulation with the exception of Thick Mud which needs a more extended time for drying completely.

It also dries quickly. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for beginners *by T***O on April 21, 2023* I have been building models for 40 years but have never done a diorama. I recently had a client that wanted defeat of his robot model muddy. This product did it perfectly. All you have to do is layer it on as thick or thin as you want. If you think you put on too much it comes off very easy. I also liked that after it was dry I could use water-based washes to have darker colors in the recessed areas giving it even more depth. ## Frequently Bought Together - Vallejo European Thick Mud Model Paint Kit - Vallejo Mud & Grass Effect Model Paint Kit - Vallejo European Splash Mud Model Paint Kit --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/33719024-weathering-fx-european-thick-mud-40-ml-1-35-fl](https://www.desertcart.us/products/33719024-weathering-fx-european-thick-mud-40-ml-1-35-fl) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-11*
