El Alamein Sherman

Ok work has been a real bi...er bear, but I have gotten some build time in. Typical DML fare just have to plan ahead because of the fender skirts.

Here are some quickie photos.









I used Vallejo Model Color 916 Sand Yellow for the base coat. I added a drop of Dark Sand and a dab of white as well. It airbrushed just fine thinned with MM Acrylic Thinner and a drop of Vallejo retarder. The green is Lifecolor Olive Green and the border is Vallejo Off White.

Next time I will AB Vallejo using a larger .5mm tip. It sprays well but needs to be slightly thicker than Tamiya or MM Acryl.

Markings are on and the weathering has begun. I'm trying to replicate the wear patterns of the crew in and around the tank.







Oil paint fading to come.

To echo John: Lookin' good, G!
I was starting to wonder where you'd gotten off too. BTW, I finally got to visit the HobbyTown in Vegas, great place, and I came out of there with enough stuff I almost had to buy and check another bag to get home.

Thanks guys!

This is finally finished and as soon as I get a clear day I'll post completed pics. With Fotoyukket's cooperation of course.

They keep switching my shifts on me. Seems since I am the most experienced, but junior most of the sergeants, I get assigned to "problem squads" as a "clean up" man. I really never know from one month to the next what shift I might be working.

It's also interesting to note that the so called "problems" amazingly cease to exist once I take over. Makes me wonder just what the "problem" was anyway.....
