Revell 1/35 Sherman Calliope, Keeping the mojo going.

[Shar2]

As the sub-title. I built this over a couple of days whilst I was off work with the flu and quickly knocked up a base for it. Basically OOB with only the addition of the canvas around the fronts of the rocket tubes.

Thanks Perdu, I think I'm getting the hang of building and painting a kit nicely then covering it in MIG pigments and dust.

hmm you are aren't you

might have to get you to do a Modelling tips thingy for the rest of we...



I'm still very slowly trying to get the old bonce around weathering and prepainting

Still not keen on the modern desire to put every panel line in in black line-ery so models look like technical drawings

At least I can recognise a Sherman type thingy.

What kit is it?

See the title Eric

Doh!

Nice. I like the cover over the tubes - is it in the kit or is it added with tissue/PVA or foil or something? It looks just like scaled down fabric.

Looking good, I especially like the weathering you've done.

I've just finished a Revell Panther, (in the 'show us your models thread') and attempted some weathering effects but it wasn't as good as yours!

I made some canvas rolls using the PVA glue & tissue method, works a treat.
