Assault gun Sherman

[NARSES2]

I like that   

[zenrat]

Nice.  That works.   

[PR19_Kit]

For a model that's rooted in '2s' it's certainly NOT a second class model!   

[chrisonord]

That is really cool 

[Glenn Gilbertson]

Very convincing - it really looks the part!

[Rick Lowe]

Nice job!   

It's no contest winner but I enjoyed building it.

That's the main criterion.

A bit more work on the weathering & dirt & no-one would see those tiny defects! 

A stunning build! Excellent!     

[Captain Canada]

Wow ! That looks amazing ! Love the shape of her, and the colour choice looks spot on. Nice work !

Even though I called it done I'm experimenting with the Saudi dirt weathering. I sift out the larger grains and mix the fines with water and a little soap. Then I've been brushing it on all over but heavy on the tracks and suspension. It's looking good for now. I brush off some of the heaviest deposits and larger grains that look like rocks stuck to the sides. So far, so good!
I should look into a clear coat to hold it in place soon.

Sturm-an.  Love it.

If you use a mortar and pestle, you can make the lumps go away... or a coffee grinder; but remember to wash it out after, or you'll have Real Ground Coffee...

I think these are real sand grains, not just dirt. I'll get a finer sifter next time.
Here's a photo dump.







Some of these do look like rocks stuck to the sides. I'll have to knock the bigger ones off.









It's grainier than I had hoped for, but I think it will do.

[PR19_Kit]

Did you just dunk the whole model in a sand tray, or what?

[Rick Lowe]

 

Looks good. Call it 'After a sandstorm'. 

[kerick]

I did go over it today with a brush and knock off the bigger rocks!
Any suggestions for a clear coat to lock it down?
