M4A3E8 Sherman by JCT Tamiya 1/35

Recommended Posts

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

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