how does this look for a third project?third project OVERALL?

Those are some nice Shermans. I like the closer one a great deal. Very good.
Go ahead and get muddy. The second one has a few gaps in the road wheels as far as mud. If that mud is the cakeie gooie stuff, go ahead and get it all over. I would go ahead and turn the AFV upside down (carefully) and muddy it up from the bottom. That will give you a new perspective and it will allow you to get in behind the suspension.

Keep posting and learning new techniques.

They are really nice - keep up the good work.

How about this? crap camera but it got the jist of it

Looks pretty good to me....... by the way what kind of paint and color did you use on the .50 cal.. ? I'd like to know............

Nice Jeep - the 50 is great looking. I don't recognise the wire guard, it looks really cool. Who produced the kit?

Thanks!I painted both the jeep and the m-4a1 Model Master acryl but you bwanna know about the "Ma Duece".I painted the one on the jeep semi-gloss black and made it a little more realistic by rubbing it with a pencil . The one on the sherman though,is just pactra authentic scale model flat black.The jeep kit is made by revell ( and I thought they stuck with cars and aeroplanes )since the picture I have added tow rope to the front bumper.oh, and from the glare you can't see the seats covered in surgical tape to make a cloth seat cusion ( is that how you spell it? )

Surgical Tape for seat covers !! Cool.

I've used tissue paper of various sorts. I like the surgical tape idea, I'm going to have to try it.

:-) Well done airwarrior, I particularly like the dusty appearance of the running gear on Bonnie. She certainly is a bonnie tank

Thanks but it wasn't my idea it was KFmagee's idea

airwarrior
p.s. i don't like to take credit for other peoples ideas

Bonnie is a fine looking lass :-)
I like the dust/dirt around the road wheels a lot. I think it's great work for your third model .... excellent in fact.

Keep up the good work

Thats a cool Idea. KFMagee Does have some cool tips. .. and that one is a winner, I'll have to remember that. Probably not as messy as glue, water and tissue #:-)

Purely constructive criticism follows: I think you ought to tighten up the thread holding the crates on the back of Bonny. The best way that I have found to do this is tie one end off and then pull the thread taut to the other end a hit it with some super glue. After the super glue sets and everything is tight, tie your other knot. It really needs to look like everything have been tied down tight. Hope this helps…

Have to agree with slodder on the further away sherman. The gaps with no dirt stand out to much. as the colour of earthnis so strong this is more obvious. I like how it seems ligter at the outside of the dirt patches like it has dried. Maybe a good dusting over this would blend them together! This is a net effect. Bonnie and the jeep look cool. Have you still to add the tools on Bonnie? I think the back looks a little bare without them!

yes i still have to add the tools to the back of the sherman. and the muddy one was just to see if icould get realistic looking mud. notice there is no drivers hatch
