Tasca M4A1 Sherman Shelf Queen

Sorry guys, I totally forgot to post my progress this week end. Here it is, thanks for reminding me dave.

I’ve made a start on the streaking. I can see some streaks that are a little over powering in the pics. I have already went back and softened them up. Once I get a few more colors on, it will start to tie all together.

Wow Big john.
That's a fantastic Sherman so far.What a great job you are doing!!!.
Cheers from Richard

Mighty fine finish work BJ

Thanks fellas! This time around I'm using AK dust

Damn, John that looks sweet brother.

Thanks Rob and Fish!

From the very beginning of the paint stages, I felt that I had made the base coat to light, and haven’t really been happy with it from the beginning. Then I feel that I got a little carried away with some of the streaking and it started to turn some funky green that I didn’t really care for.

I applied a light tan filter to the entire model to soften it back up again. I’m pretty pleased with the way it looks now. Next up will be to go back over the pin washes to add some more depth.

Oh looking sweet. Thanks for the step by step.

John,

Loving your work on this one. The weathering is bang on mein freunde. I don't have much of the AK weathering products but I should probably pick up some of them. Is there a couple or perhaps three types you would recommend?
Dave.

Not much time for the bench lately, but I am making a little progress. I’m in the process of going back over the pin washes. This adds yet another layer of depth.

I thought I’d share a pic to show the slow progress.

Outstanding!!

John.
That is some top notch weathering.

I’m calling this one done!

Thanks to all who have been following this build It’s time to move on to something else.
