Album info
My first model in almost 20 years (also, first 1/35 project and first diorama/vignette ever). Had a lot of fun with it, definitely helped me to learn a lot.
Kit is old Tamiya's Sherman, built practically OOB. I only added Aber's antenna and "magic" tracks from one of Dragon's old Firefly's (absolutely hated these).
Some details were added using thin copper sheets (that thin metal thingy on the back of the turret, towing fixtures and those little metal plates on transmission cover often seen holding a plank of wood).
Painted with Vallejo Model Air, weathered mostly with Abt502 oils and some Ak/Mig enamels. Base made from xps foam, VMS's smart mud and some veneer.
Yes, bad photos, I know I know. Need to get better lamps and practice more.
