SJLR_1 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 (edited) Here is my recently completed Italeri 1/72 Sherman Jumbo, from their Quickbuild series. It has snow on it because it is for use in a Bastogne diorama I am starting work on... snow is krycell from Precision Ice & Snow. Good stuff. First time using it, too, bar tests . It is meant to be light snow, though I should have some more buildups. I haven't completely finished putting snow in the tracks and surrounds, and you can probably see some seams etc... and the .50 cal looks more like some sort of 20mm cannon, but it's a quickbuild for a reason, no? Photos were a bit rushed on my phone... honestly some are terrible pictures!! Need to clean the lens! Any feedback welcome, thanks for looking!

SJLR_1 Posted September 7, 2017 Author Share Posted September 7, 2017 (edited) Thanks for the feedback! The Jumbo has been joined by a friend... and an enemy. Again, italeri quickbuilds; M4A3 76mm Sherman and a Pz VI Tiger E First ever attempt at a whitewash camo, on the Sherman; didn't turn out that bad for a first try. The tiger has a lot more snow on it than the shermans! Again, subpar pictures, but you get the idea Edited September 7, 2017 by SJLR_1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3DStewart Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 (edited) Very nice. The snow effect is good, but the photo colour balance doesn't show it to best effect. I like these quick build kits, they encourage you to finish them without getting bogged down in overdetailing.

Yeah, the camera on my phone doesn't work too well with these sort of close-up shots, I might try it with a proper camera sometime! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
