Is the campaign over or was it extended? Just wondering when ribbons will be awarded?

An update

I've finished the turret, added some PE and also the sweet Bogie Bolts from Lion Roar ...
The front fenders are only Bluetacked on, as the tracks will be too difficult to paint / fit with them glued on ... the fenders will have to wait until the tracks and lower hull are painted

So the Shermie is basically finished and ready for paint - priming in the next day or so, and then base coat...

I'll then do the stowage

I'll post a couple of pics tomorrow with the Crew also

Here is where I'm at :











Cheers

Paul, the Shermie is coming along nicely. Fromations are really great sets. And the crew still looks fantastic! Mother beatiful tank, as you say!

So, is the campaign over now ar has it been prolonged again? Would be a shame to keep Paul from getting his ribbon!

Cheers!
Stefan

Hay all,

I think this is going to be extended another month to give everyone time to finish off their builds. That ok with everyone?

I've put a bit of color on the Shermie. It's a Movie machine so don't expect historical accuracy

As per the Movie which uses Yugoslav M4A3E4 Shermans, this machine is painted in Russian Armor Green (not OD ).

The best match is MM Acrylic 4807 Russian Armor Green .

Here is the beast before any weathering , just a base coat

I'll put a coat of Vallejo Satin Clear coat, and add decals soon.....



Cheers

Almost there Scotty.

decals on, detail painting , and the first bit of weathering with oils is done.

I need to let it dry for a day or so before doing the next layer of oils.

Pics in a couple of days I think. This one should be wrapped up in a week or so

Cheers

Paul
