BerndM Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 Hi Pawel, thanks for the kind reply, building tanks is somewhat refreshing between aircraft builds, good luck with your Dragon Panzer III 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREG DESTEC Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Looking good Bernd. I like the camo scheme on this. It makes a nice change from the overall OD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerndM Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 Thank you Gregor, yes i had the same feeling about the scheme. A single color with much more difficult to make it look interesting. The few decals were a challenge, some of them really small and getting the stars over the "obstacles" was not so easy. The next step will be adding more details, hope the weather will improve for better photos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 That looks good Bernd, must admit, I'd never seen a Sherman in two colours, but it sets the tank off nicely, Sean 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerndM Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 Hi Sean, thank you, for the camo scheme i have followed the instructions. There are some M4s in the In Action books with added camo colors too. Hope its accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerndM Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 Hi, today i was able to do some new photos, showing some more progress. Decals are on, some touch ups were made, detail painting has started and some details like the MG on the turret are added too. Not much, but slight progress is better than nothing. :-) ( the "thing" on pic 01 is a match stick, the light conditions were not too good) Time for some weathering 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlaStix Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 That is looking superb Bernd and the matchstick really shows how small these tanks really are. Lovely paintwork and the decals really bring it to life. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BerndM Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 Hi Stix, good to hear(read)! The sunn day was more than needed, after the mostly grey and cold days, the last time. The weather here was beautiful. We used the day mostly for cleaning the house, my part was cleaning all the windows. Between this, i applied washes not only to the little Sherman. There are coming some new roll outs from my bench, hitting BM hopefully soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlaStix Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Good afternoon Bernd, Sorry to hear you've been fighting the flu. Hope you're feeling better now. Like the others have said above; the washes have really done their work - they've really brought it to life. Looking forward to seeing what you do next. Hope you have a good weekend. Kind regards, Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BerndM Posted March 28, 2015 Author Share Posted March 28, 2015 Nicely done Bernd. It looks OK, the washes have done its job. Simon. Thank you Simon, the washes are simple acrylic colors, thinned with water and Revells Acrylic cleaner. The cleaner work better as the thinner. I thinned acrylics some month with it, until i noticed, that i bought the wrong product. The colors for the camo are not acrylics, thats probably the reason, while it worked...... Looking really nice Bernd. The weathering so far is very effective. Cliff Thank you Cliff. Thats a low budged weathering but i am quite happy so far :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind regards, Stix Hi Stix, yes i feel much better now and returned to modelling. And i am quite pleased with the result. There are missing still some details and more dust. While the Sherman is nearly finished and two other builds too, i decided to start a new kit, tonight. If this come true, there will be a new long running WIP here, probably with long breaks in the progress which is typical for me ( see my both Fw 190 ) There is still some time left for another tank for this group build but i am bad in repeating. Have a great weekend too Cheers Bernd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
