A modeling question

I'd like to hear your techniques for depicting dirt and mud spattering. I tried flipping and snapping a brush at desired areas and managed to scatter more over me and my workbench! Ideas anyone?

For reference this is real dirty armor-

This one was using the same flicking method with the brush and enamel mud paints and lots of patience-

[MrChef]

this one was a lot of flicking the enamel mud and AK terrain mud-

[MrChef]

and more flicking... btw this was all be fore I had an airbrush.

I found dipping the brush then flicking it onto paper towel till I got the spray pattern and volume before applying it to the tank worked best. I used a toothpick to flick. The biggest challenge was to get it to flick in the right directiion. And then I would actually flick from the ground up to the tank Not parallel or from above.

this used the same AK terrain mud- but I also used an airbrush to change the color and mist the mud on

[MrChef]

turned out like this-

I like the flicking - good hint bout pre-flicking onto a paper. So, how do you make a spatter with an airbrush without xlogging the heck out of it?
