really interesting looking tank, it might be my favorite version of the sherman so far. Good work on the paintjob. How did you achieved the multi-tone effect on the model ?

Quoted Text
I do the base coat of dark browns then lay down hair spray followed by base coat.start first round of chipping.Followed by another round of hair spray then a much lighter shade of paint then start taking that layer off.Its not supposed to be a perfect finish.It just adds dimension to the color not so monotone..really interesting looking tank, it might be my favorite version of the sherman so far. Good work on the paintjob. How did you achieved the multi-tone effect on the model ?

Rad looking tank ! A simple diorama would highlight all the work you've done so far. Not a big fan of overdone dioramas with a gazillion features, it takes the attention away from the vehicle imo.
