Ian Cooper Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 I'm usually building 1/48 scale fast jets but this was a kit my (9 year old) son received for Christmas in 2009 and I've been building it for him. It's a Tamiya 1/35 scale Sherman with a 105mm Howitzer. Thought I'd share the result on here. Hope you like it. Cheers Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wayne S Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Nice :wacko: How did you like the kit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ian Cooper Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 Nice :D How did you like the kit? Thanks Wayne. No problems with the kit at all. It went together nicely. Had a few different markings options. It also came with three US infantry figures which I didn't photgraph with the finished model but might use to put this in a diorama later. It only took so long to build because I've been building other things at the same time. This was the first time I've used weathering powders - they're great, aren't they!

Army_Air_Force Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Is this dirty/muddy enough? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ian Cooper Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 Nice,nice nice! 2 things that stand out to me and I only say this because it was pointed out on my builds; a bit more weathering and dirty up the tracks. Very nice build otherwise! Thanks "Flying Fortress". I had been reading some articles in magazines about armour and dirt in the tracks. I just wanted to get this finished and I knew that it would then be used by my son as a play thing rather than a display model. So I didn't go that extra step. I'm now building a M60A1 for him. I might dirty the wheels and tracks on that a little more. Cheers Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trojan Thunder Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Nicely done Ian, the powders look like they went on nicely, which ones did you use? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ian Cooper Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 Nicely done Ian, the powders look like they went on nicely, which ones did you use? Thanks "Trojan Thunder". The pigments were CMK Star Dust. Light Dust and Dark Rust mostly. Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
