Looking for some expert help

[gamehoggr1]

Anybody have any advice on how they do the dusty or muddy Look on tractors and combines ? I'm trying to replicate our real life equipment and want to add some realism. Thanks for any help

I aint no expert but this I can help with. You can either use real fine sifted dirt and use that to dust up the equipment or you can use a variety of chalk pastels, powder them up, use it to represent rust. Then dull coat the equipment the make it stay. Just make sure to cover windows if you dont want the dull coat on the windows. Their are some folks here that do a real good job with it:)

I always just scooped up some dust off the shop floor and threw it on there. Then wash off later if you want it clean.

Thanks! It is a very well written tutorial! It took me a while to get the hang of it but I wont weather any other way now. I like making videos like these because I am a very visual learner and I like to share my experiences with others.
