Very nice! I also thought it was a 1/35 until I saw the quarter. And an excellent 1/35 at that.

Thanks!

How's about posting that Panzer III T. I'm sure it's as good as the rest of your builds.

I'll have to take some better pictures.

Cool

Very nicely done. If I'm not mistaken, it looks like the Dragon kit to me, but much better than mine turned out. The 105mm is one of my more favored versions of the Sherman.

Yes it is the Dragon kit.  Very nice!

Thanks!

I too was deceived into thinking it was larger scale!  First thoughts were "well, not too bad, tastefully done" and then I got to the last pic and realized it was 1/72 and was blown away to think of all the weathering detail you even managed to get into the little braille scale!

Thank you for the kind words!  It was done as a painting exercise so I never really went as far I would normally go to finish the model.

Hi MrT,

The result you have achived is very convincing indeed, regardless the scale :)

Please tell about your technique?

Thank you for sharing and please keep them comming!

Very Best Regards

Johan

Oh my!  It would be better if I could show you.  I use some color modulation , washes, pigments, and dry brushing.  I tell you what I will start a WIP of a Sherman I have that is ready to paint.

Same. I was going to comment about the co-ax machine gun not looking drilled out, but in this scale forget about it! Excellent work.

OOPS!!!  I'll have to get that drilled out.

Thanks!

I did this Sherman a while back.  I added some wire handles and little more weathering than usual.  Comments are welcome.
