105 SHERMAN(STREAK TO THE FINISH)
- Thread starter MrT
- Start date
Last night after reading the next great lesson from Bob I went back to the bench. I applied pin wash of raw umber. Then I did some streaking using tiny dots of flake white, indian red, and dark green. I need feed back from Bob on what I should do next. Here is the result of last nights effort.
B)
Bob says the next lesson will be on chipping and rusting. That may be hard for me to do because I may have a scale issue.

Yo Terry,
Is that 1/72nd scale?
Well, it looks great so far, I would just dry brush a touch lighter on the center of large areas. It could be that the lighting is just making it look dark. You'll have to determine that. If it is lighting, try photographing it outside.
About the scratches, rust and chipping, it's possible, but, obviously you have to work very, very carefully. It looks like you have already applied some rust. I'll have to go out and look at the weathering on the vehicles in Coccoon which is the same scale. Haven't worked in that scale since I built that back in 1985

Yeah it's 72nd. Part of it is the lighting, but I will do some more dry brushing because it is a little dark. I will try the chipping. I did some on a 72nd Bradley way back when and some of them were way out of scale. I think my rust is a little over done.
Thanks teach!

I like that a lot Terry!
