Sherman Ic Firefly Hybrid - Dragon 1/35


Recommended Posts

I've painted the stowage. Done it differently then in the past, but to be honest I like the effect I've achieved. What do you think about?

No Clive, all that is the Black Dog Resin. That was only one up to now that first I've bought the convertion and them the model. That what it is:

I like Black Dog stowage. It's some of the best. You painted them well. Something else that would enhance the effect is to paint the straps and ropes a different colour to the tarps.

Thanks again for looking. As you suggested John, some of stripes painted on different colour. Remaining ones will be done as well. Now, as I was quite happy with the effect I achieved when I placed them on the tank I am not sure that I still like it. It looks bit cartoon now. Two back packs and single sheet is painted with more solid colour. What do you think?

Thanks. The turret bin just seats between the rear deck stowage as well and is unable to turn anyway. Black Dog just do it completely not realistic.

Cheers, I am glad that you like it.

 

Today not much forward, but only markings. Colour on the photos is not as the model looks, but today is not about it.

But talking about the colour. Few days ago I visited the Bovington Tank Museum and I have with me a sample with few colours.

My wife said that the bottom right is the correct colour (Mr. Hobby H-80 Khaki Green), but I think it more like the middle top which is the Mike Starmer's SCC 15. 

You sly dog! Like your style!

I've started the weathering process. The tank isn't clean and shiny any more. First chipping.

I miss the molding seam on the commander copula, but just spot it now on the photo. Unlucky.

Thank you. It was sponge and paintbrush. First I used the light base colour and then the Vallejo German Black Brown camo inside.

Today I've applied the oil paints. This is how it looks before I start work on it:
