Pink Panther's Sherman III DV

[Polux]

Let me guess... Best part will be the chipping-chopping?

I will try to build a very battered and spoiled Sherman. And the challenge is the chipping effect over the two camouflage colours....

And try a realistic dust effect too... Well, this is the intention... :oops:

My nephews are looking for their chalk pastels, and now they will have to look harder for their geometry sets too.

Hi friends!!Thanks for the comments

Well.....here I go, the super "pinkie" tip

Some time ago I was on my stationer's looking for some pencils and others, and found this.....

Mmmmm.....have an idea!!!! o_O

Anyway, I think there is a special one for the modelers, but not sure.

It's really easy to use and all the wheels have been painted in less than an hour...... :P

Hope this help!!!! Happy modelling!!!

Looking good so far Polux. I think she's going to be a blinder!

No, no, please, just post the final results. If we know how to do then we should be able to do, but we won't

Excellent sand-blown chipping Polux!

 

[monica]

[tommy1drop]

Excellent work Polux, If that`s what the running gear is going to look like, I can only imagine the rest of the build

 

[Ziper_it]

Exactly what I was looking for.

Excellent Polux!

 

[flyjoe180]

Wow, those wheels look great Polux, nice work mate

 

[Polux]

Hi all

Well, I start with the Sherman now. It's a nice kit, with some good details

Anyway I'm quite lost with this SIG :oops: chipping, old, new...? I don't exactly how to paint it :eek:

I have found a little plaster farm too, but I don't know if to waste the time on build it (have other projects).....

Uff...I hate this time and myself, when I don't know what to do!!!!!

Cheers

Polux

You know you want to weather it slightly, a bit of chipping, some stains. But not a rusty hulk, this is too nice to be rusty

 

[Ian M]

I would go for a battle worn dusty look.

If you can catch that as well as you have done the running gear, it will be a good one.
