Well, I don't know if my technic is usefull but I found that my airbrush
have tiny slots in the front end. I have tried to attach a nylon wire 
in these slots, crossing the paint beam. That gives a very splattering
paint pattern and very usefull for painting heavy mud splashes. Alter
this method with washing- and drybrush techic.
