discussion Pink Panther's Sherman III DV

[Guest]

Let me guess... Best part will be the chipping-chopping?

I will try to build a very battered and spoiled Sherman. And the challenge is the chipping effect over the two camouflage colours....

And try a realistic dust effect too... Well, this is the intention...

My nephews are looking for their chalk pastels, and now they will have to look harder for their geometry sets too.

Hi friends!!Thanks for the comments

Well.....here I go, the super "pinkie" tip

Some time ago I was on my stationer's looking for some pencils and others, and found this.....

Mmmmm.....have an idea!!!!

Anyway, I think there is a special one for the modelers, but not sure.

It's really easy to use and all the wheels have been painted in less than an hour......

Hope this help!!!! Happy modelling!!!

Looking good so far Polux. I think she's going to be a blinder!

No, no, please, just post the final results. If we know how to do then we should be able to do, but we won't

Excellent sand-blown chipping Polux!

 

[monica]

very nice indeed Polux ,, do like it alot,

look forward to seeing more keep up the good work

 

[Guest]

Excellent work Polux, If that`s what the running gear is going to look like, I can only imagine the rest of the build

 

[Guest]

Exactly what I was looking for.

Excellent Polux!

 

[flyjoe180]

Wow, those wheels look great Polux, nice work mate

 

[Guest]

Hi all

Well, I start with the Sherman now. It's a nice kit, with some good details

Anyway I'm quite lost with this SIG chipping, old, new...? I don't exactly how to paint it

I have found a little plaster farm too, but I don't know if to waste the time on build it (have other projects).....

Uff...I hate this time and myself, when I don't know what to do!!!!!

Cheers

Polux

You know you want to weather it slightly, a bit of chipping, some stains. But not a rusty hulk, this is too nice to be rusty

 

[Ian M]

I would go for a battle worn dusty look.

If you can catch that as well as you have done the running gear, it will be a good one.
