M4A3E8 Sherman by jct - FINISHED - Tamiya - 1/35 - PLASTIC

[jct]

Didn't do any ships over the summer but did hit the model stash again...drug out some Tamiya military kits, I've had these in storage from the mid 80's.   First up is a Sherman representing a vehicle from the 5th cav division late in the war.

 

Kit was built box stock the focus was on paint and weathering, kit figure was done with artist oils.

 

 

Eventually I'll mount this on a vignette base...probably a cobblestone road

Excellent work  - with some great weathering.

sweet look'in tank J      gotta agree about the weathering.........I could never get a finish like that.  

[jct]

Thx D, actually that’s the best part of military modeling, least IMO 

[popeye the sailor]

yea....every time I try....I look at it the next day and be unhappy with it,  and then change it back.  good to see you kept yourself busy during the summer

It always takes me longer to weather then anything else,  I usually break it down to about 9-10 separate steps
