Rafal, nice Shermie! Welcome to the club of Shermaholics. Hope you will be infected...

Looks great so far. Is the stowage on the back all one casting?

Cheers!
Stefan

What did you use as a reference? I see a couple of places that you differed from the instructions. I'm about 2 days away from finishing this same kit, with the same markings. Just need to let the last of the weathering dry, and then hit it with a flat coat and some pigments.

Stefan, yes - Legend Production.
Jesse, from my friend(Vis13) and photos.







Next - mud.

RJ

Suh-weet!

I'll be following this one closely. I love those camo'ed Normandy Shermans.

Are those the kit decals?

Mike

Jeeezzzuzz!!!!!!!!!

This is purely awesome!! Will you...might I dare ask, if you'd be so kind as to write a humble modeller like me how you achieved that wonderfull paintcoat?
How did you do the mud? The splatters? The dust?

A step-by-step would be nice...
And how about a bigger picture in your gallery so we can use it as a screen saver or print it out as postre for the bedroom-ceiling... ?

Ahh, what a delight...

Mike R., yes.
Leo - paintcoat - mixed OD,lemon,black,grey(Mr.Hobby)
Dust - nothing special - pigments applied with brush
Mud - fine-grained sand,thick glue, pigments
