1/35 M4A2 Marine Sherman by Academy
Thought I might share my older work from last year, this is the M4A2 Sherman from Academy, in 1/35 scale.
I understand that how 'weathered' for a working tank could be controversial. Despite that, I just wanted to make mine look special. Hey it's my model anyway. I really enjoy weathering tanks.
I had so much fun on this work because this is the one I actually tested out using the Chipping Medium from Vallejo. I've got fascinated in the use of different weathering techniques since then. I was just testing out at the time and this Sherman just turned out great, for me at least.
So...for your reference, I painted multiple layers of colors in different tones with an airbrush, and used Chipping Medium between layers. The rusting textures were applied later on.
Fantastic detail, paint and weathering work. I like this a lot.
Mr. Cleaver, Thank you once again!
I go with Tom!
Great model, antastic painting and weathering!
Thank you!
Very well done sir! I like the weathering techniques and the willingness to experiment. I too love to weather & "beat up" tanks. Look for the "Night Shift" on YouTube, the modeler's name is Martin Kovac. I have learned a lot and have been introduced to many new and different modeling products since I started viewing his tutorials. Give it a look, he does awesome work. Keep the armour models coming!
Thank you very much!
And thank you for the tip! I'll go check it out!
Looking fabulous, the paint job is extremely well done!
Thank you!
I can echo everyone else in saying great weathering and paint work!
Thank you sir!
Great weathering technique, definitely liked.
Thank you!
