Nice work Francesco!

I start on mine for one minute and you have nearly finished yours Francesco, great work though, it looks very good

 

[Guest]

Thanks for your feedbacks.

Still have to complete weathering but yes, that was too fast. Next time it has to be at least 1/48 with interiors and PE.

To complete the whole project I still need the building and the figures. Building is ongoing, the girl will be more complex to do.

The Sherman is complete, as soon the matt varnish dries I will retouch few points with chalk.

This is OOB with only the hull gun replaced with a sprue and the hull handles added.

Now the building.

I'm trying this:

I cut a piece of depron, added window border from cardboard and primed.

Separately I cut windows frame and applied a layer of transparent sheet on the back. Doors have been cut from cardboard too.

Now i'm evaluating the appearance and trying some color.

Few bits, especially the frame have to be adjusted or redone.

very nice work, Francesco ,as said do like the added detail, like the flag a good touch and the antenna , did the kit come with that ?

always wonder why there not on most kits,

the building coming along nicely as well keep up the good work,

look forward to seeing more

 

[Guest]

Wow! Looking good there Francesco.

 

[Guest]

Thank you Monica and Andy.

@monica

Flag and antenna were not in the kit, and even if they were i wouldn't have used them as I they would be so thick to destroy the look of the model (in this scale).

I'm still working on the building, straightening some elements and looking for the right colors: doors and frame are now gray and look better.

In the meanwhile, I started the girl. She's not Boudicca and I'm not Paul , so I don't know how it will end up but I like her for now.

Thanks for looking,

Francesco

P.S. I tried to take another picture with the building behind but the wall dropped over the tank and now I have to glue back antenna and hatches

[monica]

[flyjoe180]

Wow, I reckon you're doing a great job on that figure Francesco. Is she plaster?

 

[Guest]

Many thanks mates.

Will try to give another layer today

@Joe

I used Milliput, if this answer your question.

Francesco

 

[Guest]

I'm back here, going slowly, adding a bit of putty and sanding, a bit of putty and sanding ...

I'm learning though, I think I've found the right putty consistence to better model it, but it's not that easy and still a lot to do.
