Nigel Heath Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Looks good to me. I think the chipping and staining effects work well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hewy Posted March 1, 2018 Author Share Posted March 1, 2018 Some pictures of the sherman with the rockets attachment now glued in place, it went well with no alignment issues, I'm a bit disappointed that i can't get the trigger wires to look like they're lying a bit more naturally, in hind sight i maybe should have used thin lead wire, a bit more to add yet though, I've also flat coated it Mud and dust are uncomfortable parts of weathering for me still, so this is as far as the bogeys go at the moment i may pluck up some bravado yet. Cheers, Glynn 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt.Squarehead Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Damn that looks amazing, your weathering is absolutely splendid. Be careful with chips to bare metal, Sherman paint was tough. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for most kind comments nigel , Plenty of YouTube videos, and copying others on this exellent site is the order of the day here, just cant get those pigments to look right though, I'm thinking of building an old tamiya sturmgeschütz rapidly, no etch or mods to use as a test bed for a few effects i want to try out, some of those new life colours ones look good., thanks again Glynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Stuart Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I arrived on this page, looking straight down at those rocket tubes - a stunning and surprising first sight! It's been said already, but that does look impressive Glynn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats and rearguards, Badder Ah stop it badder , you flatterer, it's turned out nice, i like how the undercoat saved me a lot of post shading, but even looking back now there's some bits I'd do differently, and its not everyones cup of tea but, I'm calling it finished I've done some final bits and bobs today and painted some crew up( well I've tried), Hey, cheers though badder i appreciate you liking what I've done, i'll post up the finish tomorrow. By the way I've started a dio base too late for this now, but i intend starting a thread in the wip dio section soon Glynn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait to follow. I was going to build a winter dio for my Sherman, but I'm not going to have enough time (or money) to get it done to the standard I want. I will do it eventually, but after this GB I'll be returning to my Ever evolving diorama. Rearguards, Badder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etienne Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Hello Glynn, first I saw the final result and asked myself ... how the heck did he manage to get this color variations ?? Then I read the whole thread and I have to admit your method is original but a darn good idea and efficient What do you think of the Academy Shermab compared to Dragon or Tasca kits ? Cheers, E 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, E ah the undercoat of many colours, i thought that was a success and something I'll definitely do again, it saved a whole load of time with post shading, Unfortunately I've built neither the dragon or the tasca kits, the total amount of armour I've built you can count on one hand , but an easy 8 is definitely on the menu later in the year, i was impressed by the academy kit in all honesty, it went together completely trouble free, the tracks aren't good, being rubber bands, but a nicley detailed kit with lots of options, and not too expensive, thanks etienne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hewy Posted March 31, 2018 Author Share Posted March 31, 2018 Work nearly got the better of me here but its finished, i would have liked to have made a base, but that'll have to wait for another day now, apologies for the sorry attempt at figure painting, a dark art to be sure, also what a great gb,learnt a bit about shermans along the way, and i thoroughly enjoyed taking part in it, thanks to everyone who has contributed with either pictures or comments, thanks sarge Glynn 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
