Country:  | camo is looking great Dan. Nice job on the tools.
Last tank I finish was my Sherman with 100mm Howitzer, I used the thin E guitar string for its antenna which worked well.
What I used for weathering was a few enamel washes over the hull. Then dry brushed very lightly white to get the edges. Finally used pastels to simulate dirt and dust from the muzzle and from the road. Its crude but came up ok.

Country:  | Thanks for posting those pics.... Looks very nice....
Heres a shot after all three camo colors are on and touched up... It came out alright I think, no real errors... Some painstakingly slow sh!t to do...
The colors are off due to the lighting in the garage...

Country: | Dan, could it be that you are a closet tanker? Nice work. Heinz, love the weathering on the Sherman.

Country: | I rode in and on a couple Tanks in my time... Enjoyed the hell out of it I can tell ya... Exhilarating to say the least....
But I was and still am a man of the Sea, so being wrapped up inside a steel box wouldnt have suited me...
Thanks for the compliments and pics fellas.... Im very happy with how this is turning out, and it may convince me to do another tank, after building the 3 planes Ive got waitin on me...

Country: | Thanks man...
OK, heres some more shots, after the decals are on, and other small things done.... Still have to do the tracks, UGH!!!
It looks pretty good, and I think it'll look better once the wash and dull cote are applied...
