Thanks for the compliments ya'll...
Yes the tracks are still on the too do list. They have only been rusted up so far. I painted them flat black then polished them with Iron Oxide pottery glaze (which is basically rust) It gives an great steel color. Then I added a real rust wash by letting a steel wool pad rust up outside then making a wash from the resulting powder.
The bare spots and chips on the hull are done with a broken toothpick and testors rubber paint.
Thought I would add a run down on the scrap kits used. Italeri hull and suspension M4A1, Turret from the Italeri Sherman Calliope
kit, Tamiya tracks, Some Academy Wheels, Tamiya-DML-Academy hull details. Plus a little scratchbuilding. for the armour plates and fender brackets.
Lots of fun to build. I wanted something OD to paint to practice before I painted my Dragon Wagon. I learned a great deal on this otherwise free kit.
Thanks again for the comments.
