Re: M51 Sherman WIP
Thanks guys!
Tony, figures are definitely one of my weak areas. No matter how much I work on them, I have no consistency for good solid results…
Tracks painted and installed
Not much farther to go now…

Some fine looking tracks
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

Re: M51 Sherman WIP
Tom, Clint, & Tony, thanks.
Tom, I’ve got a love/hate thing with painting figures. In most cases they don’t quite turn out as intended.
Tony, I know what you mean. It’s the eye areas that keep vexing me… I just can’t quite find something that works right for me there…
Today was a good session. I airbrushed on the flat coat then did some of the detail painting that had to wait for that step to be done, such as the periscopes and vision blocks…
Just a few more small steps to go before I call this one finished…

Re: M51 Sherman WIP
that is some outstanding work! Looks great.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Re: M51 Sherman WIP
My gosh man!!! This looks great so far Carlos. Slowly makin' my way back so I apologize for not looking in on this more regularly. I hear you on figure painting as I'd love to do this at some point....just don't have the skillset yet.
Re: M51 Sherman WIP
Looks great. What do you use for your flat? That is a dead-flat coat there.
Thanks,
John
