Kuro Nezumi Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Good afternoon, This is my rendition of Dragon's Normandy Sherman in 1/72 scale: The little tank went together fine but the DS tracks were a bit of a problem. The PE straps on the back of the turret were left off because they were too hard to bend right. The only aftermarket was a metal gun barrel. Painted with AK Interactive's Olive Drab Modulation set - an incredible product BTW - and weathering Citadel paints and AK Interactive Track Rust. Hope you like it! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredben Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Yes I like it very much. I use a lot of AK products but never used AK Interactive Track Rust before. It seems to have done a good job on the tracks. Quite a lot of detail you have done for a 1/72. I would like to see other pictures of it, I think your camera flash does not show your build as it should. Well done, impressive build. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuro Nezumi Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 (edited) I would like to see other pictures of it, I think your camera flash does not show your build as it should. Are these better? If not, I don't mind taking more. Just give specific areas and I'll have them photographed. I also forgot to mention that the streaking effect was done with Humbrol Enamel Dark Green wash. And thank you both for the comments!

fredben Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 The colour looks a lot better on the new pictures, you can see the green wash streaks on them and the weathering shows on the front of the Sherman. looks even better Kuro. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Those photos are much better.....Looks like you've done a very nice job with the build (shame about Dragon's godawful tracks) and your OD is wonderfully lively! PS - I tend to join tracks at the bottom of the run under a road wheel, where you can get away with using a bit of plastic card and some putty to disguise the join. You can also gently (and I do mean gently) stretch DS-100 or other band type tracks either before use, or as you work with them, the latter being my preferred method as you don't distort the pitch of the track and affect the fit around the sprocket. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
