8th NB Hussar's old ride.....WW2 Sherman Firefly VC

[Elm City Hobbies]

Looking to replace it Scott. Need to get into the 21st century.

Nope...I realize that....but would be nice to get you into the 20th century at least!

Well, now that I'm in the 20th century (thanks again Scott) I've made some progress.

Got the mud on now and a combination of both wet and dry in layers. Never did splattering before and used a technique Scott described to me using both an air brush and a brush loaded with paint.

Made a home made stencil to paint on the tank's nickname of Abegweit, but the damn thing didn't stay close enough to the hull when I fogged it on. Oh, I realise that the nickname is spelled wrong but it was spelled wrong on the actual tank!



















Like always, constructive criticism is always welcome!

TANKS for looking.

Very nice Sir!!! I like the splatter, it really brings things to life sometimes!! The rust on the tools is a great touch too!!!! ;D
