Today I did a pin wash with dark brown from Mig Jimenez and there are really a lot of rivets on this tank

I then added the counterweight to the 75mm gun that I made out of some parts from an old door stop. ( nothing wrong with being green and

)

I added some olive drab along with some Vallejo acrylics brown filter and oiled earth wash.

I have to add some streaking grime and dry pigments to the metal surfaces.

During the course of the day this particular piece of armour fell into enemy hands and is now a Wehrmacht fighting vehicle.

I've always wanted to make a beutepanzer out of a Sherman variant and this just happened to call out to me. No worries I still have much to do with it. Have to order the headlights and guards, the tools and horn.

And the electronics of course.

Cheers

Carl

Listen here you...................hows a man supposed to try totaling up the rivets when you keep moving the photos

Love the counterweight touch, finishing up really well

My plan was to spin it around in the pictures causing dizziness ..... Hoping you would have given up on your counting quest : crazy:

thanks as always for the kind words Mr Bix.

Fantastic Carl ! Not too sure about the Germans taking over. So much for the classic American armour collection of yours !

Its funny how these things happen Mike. Its still an American classic ( I think)lol, still I think they just borrowed the Lee for the fatherland. I researched M-3 Lee markings and I happened to come across many in German service I really liked.

I'm a rivet counter's son,
And I'll keep on counting rivets,
Til the rivet counting' done"
