I like that a lot Philipp. Nice and clean build too. :) Seeing as you have the paint out for your Sherman maybe you could put some paint on that monster ;)

Thanks :)

Anything with lots of metal or resin on it gets the primer from the Games Workshop rattlecan. Which requires good weather, since the smell of that stuff is unbearable :lol:

Fair enough Philipp. Let's cross our fingers for good weather for you soon ;)

I managed to do some painting anyway. :) I have a vague idea of doing this as an abandoned gun so I played around with the armoured shields just to see what I could come up with. This is the result.......

I think it will work. Of course, now I have the other side to do :roll:

By the way, I've been asked before if I would show how I do rust so if any of you guys are interested I've put an SBS in the Tips and Techniques area. :D

Cheers,
Vincent

I really have enough other stuff that needs some paint first :? But I'm fairly certain I'll do it this year :)

As said in the SBS thread, excellent work!

I finished the wheels and the steering part of the gun carraige. I'm calling it a dolly. If its called something else please let me know. :?

A little more progress. :)
I've put the armour on the chassis and attached the wheel mounts. The right side armour was done in a different style than the first one just for some variety. :) The rusty chassis was painted with the chipping fluid method and many, many layers of oil paint. I kept adding different colours until I was satisfied. Along the way, I came across some nice effects which I'll use on other projects. ;)

Well, I've finally finished the build. Down the track I'll do a base but for now I'm calling this one done. :D I'm pretty happy with it after all the hassles the build part caused. I've sent more pics for the Gallery as well. ;)
