M4A2 75mm in French Colors

Erik Apunkt
Ok, it's a Sherman... <cough>
But I have to admit, I like yours. Most likely because I'm half French. 👍

Btw... Welcome to SM. 😉

Nice work 👍

@Erik: What's wrong with a model of a Sherman then?? Whether it is French or not...

@Maik: Nice work, Maik, looks really good! 👍 Love the weathering!

@John
As to Shermans, I'm biased. Simply because they're not my bag of tea - subjectwise. It's a personal matter of taste, of course. Something you can find across all scale modelling divisions - some love Tigers, others don't. Some love Messerschmitts, others don't. Some like Fletcher-class destroyers, others don't.

But if I see one masterly executed, just as in the present case, I really appreciate it.
If it's sporting less common French markings, compared to its (allegedly omnipresent) cousins in US or British markings, I appreciate it even more.

John Van Kooten
@Erik: I see, that's fine then of course, if that's isn't your thing but then you could have just left the "<cough>" comment out. It doesn't sound either motivating or nice 😉

Hey Maik, nice to read you here. I guess, I knew that Sherman. 😉

Maik Berlin
Hi guys!
Many thanks for the warm welcome and watching my Sherman 😉

Hunter Cummins
I agree with every one a brautiful sherman that is built and weathered perfectly

Ulf Petersen
Very nice and convincing finish!👍

John Van Kooten
You're welcome, Maik 👍 I'm also watching your other Sherman projects! Looks like you have some great & interesting projects ahead! Plus a number finished. All of them great work as well!! 👍

If possible, could you explain your workflow used on the turret of this Sherman? I'm interested (and I'm sure others would be as well) to learn how you achieved the tonal variance in the green color 🙂
But I know from my own work that it can sometimes be really hard to explain exactly what was done, since it often is a matter of progressively enhancing the look based on how you like it at that particular moment, without using a particular method or workflow 🙂 but just a basic overview would be great as well 👍 Thanks in advance! 🙂

p.s. Erik has settled a small misunderstanding on my part 🙂 everyone please disregard what I said. Erik meant well! 🙂 Thanks Erik! 👍

Maik Berlin
Thank you very much guys , I really appreciate it 🙂
John, sadly I can't tell you that much about my finish on the colors because it was 2006 when I build this tank ... but I have a standard how I apply different layers, but it changed since then.
I promise that I will post more infos and pictures of the coloring process on my further projects like the Easy Eight, the M4 105mm and so on!

John Van Kooten
No problem, Maik, I understand 🙂 it's a joy to watch anyway! 👍 And thanks in advance for any future explanations of your workflow! 👍 🙂
