discussion M4a1 Sherman..... US Icons GB..... Nichimo 1/35

[PaulTRose]

And finished!

Ancient 1970s Sherman by Nichimo.... Supposed to be motorised with a cable 'remote control'...... But that was missing from the box..... Quite cheap and nasty by even 80s tamiya standards but that's half the fun

Added extras from the spares box and figures from tamiya and minniart

My muddying didn't go right.... Was nice colour when wet but dried too light...... And wasn't til five minutes ago I realised I totally omitted to do some dry brushing to add highlights..... Doh!.....
And as usual my figure painting leaves much to be desired

But....... It was a hell of a lot of fun to do and that's the name of the game, isn't it

Thanks to Geoff for suggesting this gb

A lovely result Paul, and very nicely presented.

What a shame about the mud Paul. Other than that you have made a cracking model and that includes the figures. A true US icon.
