Jumbo Sherman finnished

Truely awesome white wash Bodge. Now I definitely have to build a Sherman, or two.

Andy,

This is spot on awesome!  Your painting and weathering skills are just top drawer Sir!

Tanks....... I needed that.

Andy - Another museum class build. Mastering the "old" brush skill is a true art.

I'm not a Sherman fan (sorry Tread) but I am a great build fan. Very nice work.

Rounds Complete!!

Hey Andy,

Love the whitewash - she looks tops.

Hmmmm.... valid point.

I said it before and I still mean it. I love the looks of this Shermie-- I must critique one small thing:  How does the commander see out of his view ports on the cupola?

Great build Andy, white wash and 99.9 % of the details are top drawer

and.......

Couldn't say it any better.

  Smashing build mate! Bloody well done! He said in one of the worst British accents ever.

  Seriously Bodge, that's one nice looking Shermie. The white wash is superb!

callin this one done, thanks lads4 allthe comments . this was a funbuild.        im leaving the mud of this one for the time bein and it will get done when i decide where its gonna rest.

Those bogies appear to need some love and care too Andy.

(Maybe a dab of your "Mud Magic" too.)

In the words of Phil "The Scooter" Rizzuto...

HOLY COW!

Andy that is really sweet.  Ditto what doog said about good old fashioned hand painting techniques.  the trick techiques are used cuz they are usually easier.  that takes a real talent.

I know this will break Steve's heart, but it make me wantto start on my Sherman. Sorry redleg... it won't be green

Great work Andy, a white wash is very difficult to pull off, in the old days of the "Verlinden Way" there was a lot of drybrushing and lots of modellers found it a very hit or miss affair.

Well Andy you "HIT" that nail square on the head again.

Thanks Karl, are you comming over this year then?

My summer racing season is totally shot....

My sincerest compliments, Andy--a true stunner!

Your painting is again, top-notch. You know, it's funny, but sometimes, after all the fancy "trick" finishing techniques are dismiised with, sometimes just good "ol' fashioned" hand-painting is, and can be, the perfect application for a technique that just works the best. 

You've certainly proved that! My hat's off to you!

But the best thing about your posts are the little British expressions I pick up from you--"cheap as chips" --I'll have to use that when I'm "over there" inect week for most of the summer!  

NucmedTech im sure yours will turn out just fine and thanks for compliments. I have done the tools and painted the tracks . Tools were done with a coat of light buff acrylik followed by oils. Tracks still need weathering a touch and still have to do running gear but she,s getting there.
