She's looking fantastic, love the fabric look you've got going on the storage bags.  

More stowage details added plus some decals.  I still need to put on some flat coat, but slowly but surely I'm getting things loaded up.

The figures are from Tamiya.

Thanks!

Turret is loaded and flat coat applied.

Here is a stowage update.  The flat coat has not been added yet.

Not at all!  Your comments encourage me to keep going.

Thanks!

I have added the a tow cable, spare tracks and a wooden shelf between the front fenders.  I have also started on the turret crew.  The crew is from the new Sherman tank crew from Tamiya.

Love how she's coming!

More markings and more weathering.

Almost ready for the stowage.

I added the markings for the turret and then did some chipping and more weathering.

Graphite will work and look better than a silver pencil. If you want that steel appearance to be more silver, use steel paint then graphite over it. Cheers! Ron

 

The only silver used was on the tools and only enough to highlight the details, but thanks for the advise.

Here is a little more.  I think I'm about ready to apply the markings.

Very nice. Thanks. This is going to be a big help to me.

 

Glad to help where I can Alan.

Thanks!

Looking really good! As a newbie, I appreciate the step-by-step builds I see on the forum, and this one is exceptional. Thanks for taking the time to walk us through your process. Dwayne

 

My pleasure Dwayne.
