Building a giant : Dragon Sherman 1/6

[Johnnych01]

Totally understand and hopefully you will get this looking just as good and authentic as the Sherman … Good luck with it

I already did a first try with this guy here but the colour does not match:

[barkingdigger]

Is it me or does he look like Bogart from the movie Sahara?

[Taffy3]

Very nicely done!

[metalhead85]

Yes he does lol

[Chepster]

Wow this is impressive not just in size but detail

[Jacomo]

Did fill some sandbags with real gravel.

[Dioramartin]

Super-impressive, words don’t seem big enough anymore & my collection of 1:35 armour just shrank to braille scale before my very eyes. Your weathering’s pretty good already – maybe park it in the back yard, chuck a bucket of soil over it & then retrieve after a couple of months – job done.

[Jacomo]

Self weathering, hm that would probably be a LOT cheaper but not so satisfying:-)

[Jacomo]

I started to rework one of the figures and did the upper part as comparison:

Boots still to go

[barkingdigger]

He’s definitely getting that lived-in look! (But his skin needs some dirt too…)

[Jacomo]

I startet to give the face a more dirty look but carefully:

Before

After

[barkingdigger]

Wow that really pops! Don’t forget his hands…

[Jacomo]

So now only the boots are missing as do not have the right pigments:

[Jacomo]

Okay here is the first tank crew member

[Jacomo]

This should be enough dirt:

[barkingdigger]

That’s much better! Now he looks good enough for the tank.

[Jacomo]

[Jacomo]

Okay here is crew member no 2:

[barkingdigger]

I see a problem - his mug’s empty!
