Almost forgot I also Pimped a Panzer IV for the wife

I got her to set up with the camouflage with blu tack and paper the way she wanted and I sprayed it

Whaahahaha....a urban-shoppingmall-camo!! Seen in several places in Berlin at the time.....Simply brilliant!

I love the paintjob....Grtz, John.

Just admit it. This is YOUR tank. LOL What's next, Polka dots? BWHAHAHHAHAH! Great idea to suck the spousal unit into the hobby. They don't bitch about what you spend when they're involved. lol

Dan,
you have seen the light and method to my madness and yes I had to fight pretty hard to keep the glitter and sequins away from it
But all in all it has come up well and the pink panzer is a hit on the battlefield......true confusion camo mate by the time the enemy have a chance to stop blinking in disbelief or in some cases laughter they are Kaput!!
And shhhh don't tell anyone but I enjoyed painting this tank even if it's a bit left of centre, out side of the box and liberal just so the wife has her own unique ride.

Cheers,

Greg

Here are a few pictures of my M4 Sherman's first trip away.

Just a small 5.5hr trip from Brisbane Queensland AUS to Perth Western AUS

I notice that it appears you are painting the copula and other crew viewing blocks.Many peaple cut them out and then have cut pieces of clear styrene to fill them. a much easier way is to cut them out and use a product that model railroders use to fill in empty window frames. It comes in a triangular bottle with a fine tip and you use the tip to push a white liquid into the opening that is cut out moving it along the edge of the area to be filled and carefully working to the center so the surface tension fills the space completely. Most of it will appear white but when dry it is clear( a day or two) and will appear to be concave, then you add more of the liquid and let it dry. It usually takes me three coats to get a clear flat shiny vision block or periscope head that really looks like glass.
