Nice work on the blankets.

Hello!

What color is appropriate for British tankers in the desert. Sandy, light brown, khaki etc.? Found on Google some images, but need opinion.
The Sikh will be with standard khaki, but others?

I will paint the figures during the weekend

Thank you in advance, cheers?

Just find out that Live resin will release a great detailed M2 Browning machine gun with cradle for ww2 tanks. I saw it on pre-order at Hobbyeasy and I'm sure will further enhance the model.

meanwhile proceeding with oils:







Cheers!

Just be aware that is the later cradle for WW2, you want to get the Tasca M2 set which has the earlier 20 rd Ammo Box
Al

Thanks! Still looking very nice, maybe I will use it on my Sherman Firefly, which will be more correct.

Cheers!

I like this model of sherman tank.
Excellent work
Regards from the south

Thanks, Alvaro!

Camo net from bandage



Cheers!

Tools are ready, also the camel and the rider









Cheers!

very nice.

More progress with the figures

Wow, you have done a very nice job with this kit. I love the way the early M4A1 Shermans look.

You are a very skilled model builder!

Thanks, Jon!

I will make the stowage the next days

Cheers!

Wow, this looks great. What type of base are you going to put it on?

Thanks! It will be a small desert diorama

Cheers!

I've made part of the rear stowage with Milliput and some plastic boxes from Italeri accessories set.





Cheers!

Remade the camo net, the stowage was primed with AK Olive drab and painted:







Cheers!

Some progress with the diorama.
Base is from picture frame, filled with isolation foam. It wasn't thick enough, so I added a cork sheet on top . Rest is made with modelling clay, sprinkle some sand, rocks etc., fixed with white glue.
Also made some tufts of dried grass with homemade applicator.







Cheers!

More progress with the base.

Overall primer with Vallejo grey, sides are primed with black.
I mixed several acrylic paints (AK Braun, Vallejo Sandy yellow and Ivory) for the sand base color.







Sorry for the first two images, it was very cloudy...

Cheers!

Quite a camel, you have there. The Sherman is nice, too.

Some great looking figures and the base is coming along very nicely.

Robert

The tank, the camel, the figures, the base...everything just turned out great !

Israel

That groundwork is coming along very nicely!
