Very nice spatter... It's quite realistic. There are a few that are a bit overscale but you've done a great job on it.

Great job James,... I love the side windows upward streaks of muddy water, the only thing I would add is some slightly darker mud at the bottom, directly behind the wheel wells. ( this spoken from someone whom is afraid of adding mud spatter on his ralley cars!! :-) )

Carlos would approve.

Added some weathering he says :-)

Nicely done.. which rallye did it compete in ? ( just curious, since there are rallyes in which it didn't rain and such, making mud spatter somewhat unrealistic if you catch my drift ).

Great looking rally car James. The "some weathering" looks great. Could you give us some details on how you achieved this muddy look?

Monte Carlo.. allways in Januari.. lots of snow and mud indeed.

See, i am doing a car that raced in the Acropolis rallye soon, and there is little mud in Athens, Greece, but.. lots of dust
