I don't recall that one, but if you search You tube and IDF Modeler you can find a few different ideas.

I think the easiest is to paint on glue and then add very fine sand or grout to the glue.

Which kit are you going to build??

Liquatex Stucco

a loonngg video, go to 3:50 min and he does the anti slip with glue and sand.

I think finding the right "scale" medium to use is the hardest part, I went to Michael's the other day to find chain, I got luck and found a oval link (kind of hard to find) that was the same size as Hobby Boss's chain supplied in their kit, although just a tiny bit smaller in gauge, but paint build up will add some thickness, and with out any other chain to compare it to no one will notice, I got the chain to replace the plastic chain in the Meng kit.

I know that I am VERY...VERY...VERY late here, but are you referring to the anti-slip coating applied to the walking surfaces of tanks and AFV's? If so, check out the Rustoleum brands of spray paints that have a textured finish. They come in many colors, but the color is really irrelevant since you will be over spraying it with your models camouflage color(s). Simply mask off areas where you DON'T want the anti-slip coating to go, then spray light...LIGHT...coats of the Rustoleum. You will get a great 1/35 anti-slip surface to paint over. If you don't have access to Rustoleum check out what spray paint brands you do have. I bet they have one that is a textured finish.

Cheers!

Just ordered antislip paste from Mig..anybody tried it?

I haven't tried it myself but I have seen what it looks like. A fellow modeler brought a model out to a meeting that he used the Mig anti-slip paste on and it looked quite good, very convincing. He said it was easy to apply once you masked off the areas where you didn't want the paste and that it didn't take very much of the Mig product to cover a large area. He also said cleanup was easy. I keep forgetting to order a tube to try it myself.

:cheers:

I forget if it was RustOleum or Krylon, but I used a paint called "Terracotta" texture to mimic a cast iron finish on my 1/4 scale Dodge Hemi. I also used it to do the non skid on a 1/350th sub where it was probably a little overkill but matched the molded non-skid areas I was extending. Like a previous poster said, it was a brick red color (um terracotta color) but it was irrelevant as I over painted it anyway. It would probably work pretty good for the thermal coating on navy bombs too.
