You made one of my favorite models. I love Shermans. I have 9 of them in various versions. My favorite is the M4A3E2 with the 76mm. Great work on the tank. I love your videos

You made a mistake - tracks are type T48, and they have rubber surface and not metal.

Great work all round mate! Your weathering on the OD is spot on! Great stuff altogether!

Thanks for letting us know the colors you used, so we have an idea on that results (maybe it's a secret?). 🤔🤔

Not bad. A couple of points though: The weld between the side armor of the gull and the top were made 'positive' and then grinded down flush, so it couldn't be seen (I assume because that would make it easier to keep the tank clean, so that not grime and moisture would collect which would affect the tank - if water gets into a crack and the metal starts to rust, even just on the surface, it affects the durability of the metal, and that's not even taking into account what would happen if that moisture would freeze).

Also, the tools were not left unpainted - they were green. The Germans used unpainted but varnished tools however.

Finally, no stowage should be left unsecured - that spare road wheel for example is just begging to fall off. And, exactly what are the bags on the turret hanging on? unless the crew actually went to the trouble to add their own hooks for that (very doubtful), any bags should hang off existing parts of the tank, like the lifting eyelets on top of the tank for example.

Hi! I love your work ! But, which color did you use during the pre shading?

[grimthoughts]

Did you mix the three pigments together then apply?

[andrewkennedy]

What is the colour you used for the canvass sack details, just before the ammo cans please?

Why paint rubber tracks a deep brown colour? Rubber doesn’t rust, as far as I am aware. There’s no metal on the grouser face, only the side links are steel.

It usually fades to a grey colour from its original blue black. When contacting soil and hard road surfaces, the rubber usually remains visible. Take a look at any earthmoving equipment around the suburbs nowadays, all using rubber band tracks.

Doesn’t quite do justice to the otherwise wonderful artwork.
