Korean Sherman: Done

Korean Sherman

I do notice that there's a prtty big shift in tone with the Vallejo Matt varnish. Wonder how to get it back, I like the overall dusty look it had.

Latest. Love 4 day weekends!

Think the green will disappear when it's in the turret but it's pretty cool now.

OK guys, looks like I got a problem with the Celuclay and the base.

Any suggestions on how to make it behave?

Found this in some of the resin stuff I got. Can you make it out? It's a camera! :dance got to paint it up right.


Been playing around with some colors and textures.

You've seen the pictures, what you think?

Trying to make the road bed look like it's just been scraped, fresh dirt under the dried up sandy stuff on top.

Suggestions and comments really needed!

Wood glue mixed with water? Thought I saw something over one Letterman's garden. Sorry I really don't play with ground work. I seemed to have the same issue as you are having or it would stick good but warp the wood so bad it was useless. I do like your mound and the colors you have going on the ground work, I do think it looks like a fresh grading. The browns are a good match for the camo on the Sherman. Not dead on just a hair off as I would believe it to be.

Love the camera!

Normally, I mix the Celluclay with water and Elmers Carpenter's glue. As you have already mixed it and it is curling up, I would suggest you get some contact cement. Raise the edges, paint both the base underneath with the cement, and the underside of the Celluclay that you can pull up, let dry completely, then stick them together and hold down with a weight of some kind from the top until set.

I like the camo, it looks good. The camera just needs some detailing using flat black and tiny details of silver using a very small brush, (3 ought or 5 ought).

Hope this helps.

Score the base and then glue on the piece that broke off with 5 minute eposy. Then patch up with poly filla? or plaster of paris? My thoughts :hmmm

Thanks guys!

That was just the first whack at the camera, more painting and a strap will be added.

I likes it. I don't use celluclay much anymore, but when I do I mix it with PVA and water and score the base. You could fix this with epoxy-sculpt - which is what I am using for ground work nowadays.

Looks very good in my eyes MP! (y)

I like the addition of the dried root,many people overlook the things you can get for free in the garden or in the woods.Got a lot of dried roots in my stash for making trees and hedges.

Greetings,Ron.

I agree with John, I use Elmer's yellow carpenter's glue in the mix. I have dioramas with terrain made from Cell-u-clay that are over 40 years old and still look the same as the day they were built.

As you build small dioramas, epoxy-sculpt would probably work the best. I can't use it because if I did, I'd have to buy it in 55 gallon drums and the dioramas would have to be lifted by cranes! :yipee

Looks like the material sucked up a lot of the color so I'll be painting some more on it.
