Hi guys. In MY GALLERY there's some pictures of my first attempt on a winter-camo on a Sherman. Still working on the Fruil tracks, as on the additional stowage.

Comments are welcome, John.

hiya dragon thats a very nice model Iv taken the liberty to put yr pics up here

I like the model and I love the barbed wire touch but, maybe you should put some string over the boxes to tie them up same with the wheel on the side of the tank it cant be glued on their no can it no other comments though looks very nifty!

Hi Juul. Thanks for your comment, as I said, still working on the stowage, so there will be some roping. As for the wheels, if you look closely, you'll see they are bolted down with a centre bolt trough the axle hole.

Thank for putting the foto's up, 'cause I didn't knew how to, John.

I really like the winter camo. What kit and by which manufacturer is it? Kevin

Hi Kevin. It´s the Tamiya Nbr 251 kit, with Jordi Rubio barrel, Verlinden 105mm gunshield, and Aber PE set.

Regards; John.

I thought that looked familiar, I have that kit waiting to be built. Now after seeing yours I'll have to get on it soon. I really like the way yours turned out, congrats. Also did it require the jordio barrle was the oob one too much work? Cheers Kevin

John--- can you describe the paints used and the effect applied to get the white mix?
thanks

Hi 210 cav. To be honoust, it was my first attempt, but here we go: First the normal base coat of olive drab ( Humbrol 155 ), after that I simply used NOT well stirred matt white ( Humbrol matt 34 ). To lighten-up the streaks, I don't know if thats proper English, I re-used the olive drab. Then I washed with a very dilluted wash of white spirit and some Raw Umber oil. When dried, some dry-brushing with the lightest shades of gray I could find...sorry I don't have the numbers.
That was it in a nutshell,

Hope I was of any help, John.

John-- thank you. Superb workmanship, what kind of track are you going to put on her?
thanks again
DJ

DW, she looks nice. I like the "crew-painted" effect.
I know all about doing a white wash on a Sherman. If you look in the , Features section, you can read about all the fun I had doing my ww. ...argh!

Very nice work. I love the effect you have with the "field applied" whitewash camo. It has the
appearence it was applied with haste by the actual crew. Will look real nice in some MK M4 T-49 Tracks

Keep sending us the pics !

Cheers !!

The winter camo is certainly a change from the common criss cross white paint pattern
