Hi all,

I want to show you my latest work:

The dragon Sherman III Sicily campagne. I've added tasca suspention .50 and skirts, RB model barrels (75 and .30 cal) and some resicast items (stowage cupola weading set)
The figures are from Hobbyfan and are really nice.





I've painted with tamiya acryls and weathering has been done with oils. All the stowage and figures has been painted with vallejo acryls.


























Some pencils

Nicely done Martin! As I saw this model in real life, it is even better then on the pictures.

Great work!

Martin-- great work. I am interested in how you made the goggles on the driver. How did you do it?
thanks

I've painted the goggles with clear red from tamiya acryls 2/3 thin layers will do the trick

Very well done! I have this one, in my stash. Can't give it away. Guess I will have a go at it. Does the suspension need to be corrected or are you building from a photograph?

Thanks, the kit itself is fine. I've only added the tasca suspension because it's better than the Dragon parts. But the dragon suspension is fine aswell. I've took some artistic freedom for this project. But I used some photos of the sicily campagne
