Anti skid

Yes... fine IIRC, but it was a while back. I think I got a fine and a medium ground pack, just in case. Apply it with either some left-over Cast-A-Coat liquid, or some weak PVA solution with a little bit of surface tension reducer to make it brush on easier. :)

Pro Art Models from Belgium make a product called Metal Powder that is an extremely finely ground metal that is used with Tamiya X-22 Clear. It is much finer than Pumice.

On this side of the pond I find "Embossing Powder" to be a perfect substance for anti slip. It can be located in craft stores which stock "scrap booking" supplies. I use a water based polyurethane glue thinned out and brushed on. I sprinkle the powder on the wet glue and knock the excess off into a container for future use. That method gives me great control and less masking is required.

Also frequently used is a "textured" spray paint such as "Rustoleum". A lot of masking is required. but boy does it replicate the anti skid on an M1A1.

I have used Aluminium oxide powder with great results , its easy to apply with some diluted PVA, I have yet to try Embossing powder but I have heard great things about it .

I recently saw another company advertised on primeportal, called VMS Vantage model solutions,  their non slip looks one of the best I have seen but their website doesn't even work ! :rolleyes:. A word on the Rustoleum , try the Terracotta though not the stone finish ,the stone is very thick and lumpy .
