Well done there, son. I feel that the paint on the sherman on the right has really sunk into the plastic. Good one.

Thanks! As for the white, I used pastels + water. Nung natuyo na, iniscrape ko ng brush yung mga high spots.

Your work just keeps getting better all the time. Great work, Shonen! Saw the Shermans in the flesh earlier. Ganda!

You should try to reach a rank of an officer (Lieutenant in the default ranks). Afterwards, you can submit a pic (64 x 64 pixels) to staff_jim. Animated GIFs not allowed for standard members.

Very impressive whitewash weathering you got there.. tama you should start a Sherman variant collection
I'm planning to build one myself a Sherman Calliope. May lumabas ang monogram before pero maraming inconsistencies.

O nga! Pero pag Tamiya yon, siguradong di na ako mag-aalinlangan pa. :-) I am thinking of scratchbuilding the T-28?? rocket pods kaso puro B&W pics lang nakita ko. Also, walang close ups lalo na doon sa connectors nya sa hull.

Hehehe... ok ok... I was also getting my hands on the same Osprey book.

I was also finding these books:

Sherman Medium Tank 1942–45
M4 Sherman
M4 (76mm) Sherman Medium Tank 1943–65

Which one is the best among the three? Balak kong unahin yung M4 Sherman. Modeling manual kasi eh
