Here goes. As always, comments and critics are welcome. Oh and, apologies for the rather messy background.

Suitably grubby. I assume thats so if the Germans capture them they will assume they are a band of travelling vagabonds and immediately release them?

Great paint job. How did you make the mud caked on the tracks? Glue and sand?

A mix of Vallejo cobra leather paint, sand, PVA glue and gap filler. And water, of course. Afterwards a brown ink wash. It came out surprisingly nice, typical clay-like ground you find in my home region.
