Winners2112, you did a nice job weathering and muddling your tank.
Much is said on this website and others about who the model manufacture is and what scale you‘re working on, such as 1/35 or 1/72 and so on. There is so much information and detail on painting and weathering it can be overwhelming for someone new to modeling, but you did well in my opinion.
A big part of the fun is researching the history of your model and finding out what other modelers are doing like in the article below:

Now if you had a muddy road in the Ardennes of 1944 instead of the kitchen table your Sherman would be right at home.
