Yo Steve! You hit another home run with this! Great looking build for your first American tank and first rate weathering! Love the leaves, trees and netting!

on a 1-10 scale this is an 11 Wow
Guys: A heartfelt thank you to all of your nice comments. I had no idea how well the netting and trees would go over but they seem to be a real crowd pleaser!
That netting is cheesecloth, BTW. It was purchased from Wal Mart. It's NOT in the craft section so ask a store worker for it specifically. It comes white, so I soaked it witha raw umber wash and let it dry flat on a paper towel.
Very sweet build...!

Thats a lovely job youve done on that. That tank looks killer mate.
In my oppinion as to just edge it that bit further would be to paint small dark verticle lines on the silver birch trees as this is very common on them with a filter of very diluted green in random places as to emphasize the growth of moss as that would grow on trees where the light cant get too i.e . in a wood. Its just a suggestion mate and not to detract from an allready stunning build.

AWESOME

Steve thats one sharp looking Pershing. I'm loving the base and the materials that you used. Some of the best accessories I've found for some of my dio's have been right in backyard also.
Had no idea that you could get cheese cloth at Waly-world, I'll have to check that out.
One small thing, the leaves stuck to the sides. This would only happen if the leaves or the vehicle were wet. You may want to brush on some Future to the lower hull and leaves to give the impression that there damp. Just a thought.

Steve, that Pershing is simply wonderful. The post shading toned down with the filters gave it the perfect spot on look! Well done!

I'm with ya' Steve...and it's DONE!...I had that EXACT thought in mind when I was placing the leaves. I added future (first coat) to the "stuck" leaves and the ones behid the tracks that would have been moist (prior to being squashed by the tracks). Both dried with a bit too little sheen so I'll be hitting them again tonight. I gotta' go easy for "scale effect" ,thanks for the keen eyes brother!.
p38jl/ wing_nut/ New Hampshire: Thanks guys!
Bodge: Thanks for the comments and not a bad idea on those trees, I'll give it some thought.
That's Nice,even I like it.

Good one...!
Beautiful work Steve!!! The finish on the tank is top notch and that base is pretty darn sweet too!!! So when are you doing a Sherman?
PvtMutt: "Even you like it"..? I guess you must be tough to please so that must be a real compliment, thanks!
Guney: Thanks!
panzer88: Thanks for noticing the finish, I worked HARD to get it right...I hope yu can see it in person soon (Hobbytown, April maybe?!) BTW: Coincidence you asked about a Sherman...The Dragon M4A1 DV Sherman is on deck after my KV-1 for the currently running Winter Warriors GB. I estimate a March 1st start-up!
