What A Tanker!
M4 take 2.
A slightly later attempt at a Sherman but still a few years ago. Gave it a bit of a tidy up. Some weathering with Typhus Corruption tech. paint. Fairly happy with this one now. I over did it with the weathering on the tracks, but other than that I think this looks OK. It looks more interesting with the Warlord tank crew mini added. I had intended to use a driver head from the same crew set, but his shoulders were too wide to slot in and still face forwards. Seems like this was the sort of model these crew were designed for, so this felt like a bit of an odd limitation. I decided not to whittle on the mini to make it fit, but keep it for another tank.
Again I used Brown Violet green in my quick tidy up paint job. I wish I knew what I used first time around, but the Brown Violet has been quite close.
I think I may have shown this off on Beasts of War 1.0 version in a forum post, but with all that gone I guess I will never know. It doesn’t matter a great deal and I guess the test will be when I have to start on a new US tank. Can I get them to look a similar green? Probably.
I might sell this tank, because I already have one and I actually have an Easy 8 that I never finished somewhere. I sold my Panzer IV because I felt I would have too many. Now I have 3 Shermans? Might make sense to drop that back to 2.
