Well, here it is, 1:48 scale Hobby Boss M4A3E8 Sherman, a lot more of a challenge than Tamiya but i enjoyed the build. Not one airbrush in sight, this was done with a brush only (because of the scale). I went for this one because i liked the colour scheme, makes a change from just green. The model needed some filling here & there and the hatches have no interior detail thats why i didn't have them open. Right, the best part, the mud. This was made with old turps (and i mean old), the stuff you keep on cleaning your not so good brushes in and still has crud in the bottom and brown chalk. Turned the chalk in a powder then just added the old turps and the crud, when it's dry it goe's lighter and looks like dried on mud. Yacht varnish was then painted on then it looks wet again, only it seals it in.
Anyways, i'll shut up now and let you look at the photos.
