When stuck in a rut; build another Sherman. Asuka/Tasca Sherman M4A1 with some additional resin items. Primed and ready for the base color.

That is really looking good, I can't wait to see the paint and weathering applied. The extra stowage on the tank looks really well done and well placed by you.

Nice job Chris. How did you do the sandbags? Everything looks so finely detailed.
Take care,

The sandbag armor is from PanzerArt. Fits the Asuka kit fairly well. I fill the all the gaps from behind with Aves Apoxie Sculpt and smooth it all out with water.

Thanks. Stowage is from Legends and was designed for the kit so the fit is pretty good.

Blocking in all the colors for the stowage items. Some washes and dry brushing will tone it down and blend it all in.
