Thanks Quaralane!

Most of the weathering is done...still waiting on the ITA stuff...might put this on a base with those new Master Box German and British North Africa figgies if I can find them anywhere for sale...

Was it pretty hard to mask the Matilda ? doing those Disruptive patterns on a Tank can't be easy ?

Jeeves · Oct 6, 2011

Thanks all!

Tamiya had a pretty nice layout I was able to use to cut the masks...my generic Tamiya tape did the job!!

Jeeves, IÂ´m arriving late here, man,

Nice Matilda, really, a very attractive modelling subject, and the M7 is also a very good one... just a bit short of eiter mud or dust, but really nice...

The Caunter camo scheme is really good...

Oh, Spud has done a goog job posting that Â´tube tutorials! theyÂ´re very didactic !

Cheers, Jeeves

ThatÂ´s great, Jeeves... patience always pays

IÂ´ll be on stag duty, Matilda is one of my (many, too much) favourite "ladies"

Grate work there.

Jeeves · Nov 13, 2011

Still waiting on the Inside the Armour prize...so I decided to move on and work on a USMC Pacific Sherman-- this is the Hobbyboss 1/48 scale M4A3 with the Black Dog resin USMC plank armor set...here is where I am at now:

Just ordered a 1/48 Japanese pillbox from Masterpiece Models that I hope to incorporate into a vignette with it...

Quaralane · Nov 13, 2011

Looking good thus far.
I love the planks along the sides

Tanker52 · Nov 18, 2011

Jeeves, if I am undstanding correctly the planks along the sides is a resin kit? This looks like real wood and bolts. What did you use to paint and weather the resin? Great job!

Jeeves · Nov 19, 2011

Thanks Quaralane and Tanker52!

Yes-- the planks over the road wheels and along the hull side are resin pieces. I used your basic run of the mill Walmart $1 craft paint to get a basic undercoat started. After that, I sprayed the whole thing with ModelMaster Acryl Olive Drab. Then I went back with a healthy dose of Mig Productions Dark Wash solution...will pick out the bolts with rust dripping down considering it is the Pacific...and then paint all the other details...plan on putting this on a base with the Masterpiece Models Japanese Pillbox...
