Korean Sherman: Done

Marching on, still no tracks.

OK, on Terry's advice I got Olive Green and Burnt Sienna oil wash. I also went ahead and did some light dry brushing with Vallejo Buff and OD.

The first question is, is the base too big? Can I use the one that I have, that's ready to go mind you, or do I need to go buy another base, stain it, varnish it and all that trouble...or use the one I got that's ready to go?

Whacha think?

I'm a diggin' this!

Olive Green and Burnt Sienna oil wash again, another layer. I may have gotten ahead of myself with the oil streaks coming from the fuel fill caps. I want to get a layer of dust or two on here. It looks like a reddish dust, y'all see it?

How you like those Archer transfers for the lettering?

I got email tracking on the track jacks are enroute from http://www.shapeways.com/

I may be a little short on the ammo cans, I can live with that.

I'm jazzed about the look so far, what y'all think?

Yep, What Terry said. And from my reference photo, it looks like it's just sitting there, as with the ammo cans so no tie down straps to worry about.

The lettering is not hand painted? Looks good to me. I like where you're headed with this one.

Korean Sherman

Hand painted, as in my hand? HA, no you can read this!

Yep James, it is. That'll be taken care of in the next several layers of weathering. I'm thinking it need to go light, looks like it's getting to dark now.

Which ammunition cans are you using? Different brands have different sizes so you should not mix them next to each other.

Maybe I have some you could use?

While cleaning up, I came across some tombstone cans. I put them into a box of ammunition cans I have.

Thanks Saul, You're right about not mixing them up. I got a bunch of PE cans from the old halftrack but, not sure how they compare to what I'm using and I really don't want to work with all that PE!

I'm using the Verlinden cans, resin and comes on a pour sprue of 5. I've scraped up about 20 all total, enough to get by. Have a plan to explain why some are missing...
