It might be because of the photos (the intense light makes the mud shine a lot), but I think you could airbrush some satin and matt varnish in the top areas so the mud doesn't look wet everywhere, only on the lower part of the vehicle (doors, tires and around the tires, grill, outer part of the hood/bonnet...)

You really put a lot of work on this one, congratulations for the final results!

Very nice. It looks like some situations that I've personally been in.

It looks very nice! And it looks like a situation that I personally would like to be in once (just once!)

Very cool set up and build.
Esp. with the lights and wiring. Can you describe how you did it with power supply and switches? WIP pics?
