Got to stop doing these sherman as its becoming a habit .

Anyway heres another one for yer,its the dragon sherman mk III.nice kit to build but i was a little scared of the photo etch track guards but i managed to do an ok job with the super glue .All i have done weather wise is a few light filters and a heavy wash around the details such as weld seems and hatches/boltheads,ill add some sand color pigments later.











Hope you like

Karl

Good work, One thing though- you need to paint the two machine gun barrels.

Thanks pat.

Yes i still need to paint a few more things,gun barrels and tools.
Fitted the DS tracks last night they went on with no problems.

Karl, Looks good, you say you superglued the guards together. Man I don't how you do it. I ended up soldering mine, i just get burnt fingers instead of stuck fingers
Thanks for sharing.
Cheers Ross

Nice one Karl like the worn and chipped effect must have took some time to do all the little scatches

Karl,

Nicely done!

Darryl

Thanks for the comments lads

Hi Karl,

Cracking job so far. Good work on the 'wings' on the rear. A few stone chips on the upper front hull would be a good addition as the rest of the weathering looks grand. 3 Crewmen and Bobs your uncle; with a bundle of stowage

Cheers

Al

Back with a little more progress.
I have added 3 ultracast figures,painted the tools and machine gun barrels, just waiting on the stowage set to come.i also installed the tracks and used some gulf war sand mig pigments to the running gear and lower hull.







I have got the dragon commonwealth infantry figures so am planning on some sort of diorama,just need to find a desent base.

Karl

Thanks for all your comments

Oh and paint the periscopes.

This is a very nice Build Karl.

I like it.

The sand has toned it down a bunch.

So did the British not wear head gear while driving around.

Strange think would make for some serious head wounds if a quick stop was to happen.

Also can this be painted "Pink" or was that the Other one only?

Thanks


Great build ,looks to be a very good kit.

I think your referring to the El Alamein Sherman.

Jeff all Brits have thick sculls ??

Karl have you tried Armstrong Bases Very cheap and very good quality.He is in the North East area not to far for posting to you PM me if you want His details

Brillint job on the wheatering and the figures.

Hey i love the sherman! I really like the bullseye you've put on the top of the turret...gives the german aircraft something to aim for!

I love the weathering tho, wish i could get my tanks to look like that. Good job.

Looks great Karl! Like your subtle weathering, came out well! Thanks for sharing!

Cheers -

Tim

awesome job Karl, looks very good. It almost looks like the driver/bow gunner are ignoring the commander screaming into the intercom

Nice job on your Sherman Karl.I,m not into allied tanks but i do like your desert Sherman . You definatly have the desert weathering down pretty good.I'm working on a pzIII ausf N and will use your sherman as a good ref. when i weather the pzIII.
Keep up the good work.

Hi Karl,

Nice work, look forward to seeing the finished product.

Al

Hey Karl,
Very nice work !!!
Love to see more photos of the completed build.
Cheers

Nice work.

You might want to paint some glass into those periscopes. I can't tell from the last group of photos, but in the first batch, the taillight lenses are also needing a bit of color.

Karl, great job on that Sherman. Very nice paint scheme and sweet job on the weathering. Thanks for sharing.
