    A true masterpiece. One nitpick though is that Sherman tracks were tensioned and very rarely did you see little, if any sag to them. The only exception I can think of is for the CDL tracks, but even then it wasn't a whole lot

    The thing I noticed with your weathering is that everything has a function and tells a story. Dust is where the tracks throw it, oil stains are where oil goes and so on, and it is all in proportion to the scale. A lot modelmakers just throw washes everywhere and call it a day. Good job.

    I grew up building classic kits from Heller (and Revell), many people don't like the brand but I thought they had excellent kits considering the time they were released. I've recently fallen in love with the 1/48 scale militaria. Greetings from Brazil.

    Something that still shocks me to this day of you Plasmo, is how precise and meticulous you are on airplanes, and how you follow a logic line through painting and weathering, taking care of details and scale... But then you come onto AFVs and go the whole other way around. With messy effects, non linear processes... I find it definetly interesting! 😂

    Because that kit is really nicely made... one diorama that would be cool and not that common, would be to decap the Sherman and make a post war agri-tank. There's few still standing, most sold for scrap once they dried out and parts became unavailable, but there are still some in existence and a few pictures of old ones too.

    FIY if you look for "Braun Satin Hair" brush, from whatever model number, 5 7 doesn't matter, and then remove the add-on brush that comes with the kit and cut the spreader peg down the center, you'll get a very small, very powerful "heat gun" that's excellent for this kind of work because it doesn't blast everything with heat, on account of the very small nozzle that results after you modify it.
    I stumbled across one of these in a shop that had them displayed, because normally, you see them with the brush on and you'd never think that the hot air exit is that small.
    I have one by my bench and it's much better than the larger, unwieldy ones.
