OK but don't think I've forgotten, you owe me a sherman...

 

[agentg]

I will be building a Tasca M4A1 next. This will be a Jarhead tank on Cape Glouchester. That was the first use of the M4 and the Garand rifle by the Marines in the Pacific.

This ones in primer as we speak. Paint this weekend for sure.

I still don't get how you can paint all the stuff installed like that.

 

[agentg]

There's a few ways to alleviate stress. I use a piece of paper cut in long triangles. Inserted under the tools or other add ons, it makes a good mask.

It allows a lot of detail to be added without screwing up the final finish by having glue run.

Nice start B)

As of tonight paint is drying. I'll post pics tomorrow when I'm not so frikkin' tired.

Moon, I got into the painting and forgot to take pics of the process while painting so I'll mock up some detail shots also.

Here's where we sit this morning.

Moon here's how I paint some of the stuff added on.

Patience and a good small brush are my friends.

OK, I'm plunging ahead on my Sherm and putting everything on. Looking great G!

 

[agentg]

The key is just glue the mounting points. Leave the rest free to slip a piece of paper underneath.
