[Youngun]

I am still making head way on this. Got the vehicle all primed up.

Here is where Cuddles sits today

I like the look of the blade, nice and shiny. A lot of guys rust up the face, but if it is being used regularly it will be polished to a nice shine. Wayne

Here is Cuddles today. Decals, wash and highlight done.

Love that finish so far Alex, it really stands out!

[Youngun]

Thanks Richard, this one has been a slow burn but I am liking the contrast between everything.

Now to decide when to mount the plow.

I hear ya, some of my projects are dragging on for years. I hope to get them out of the way within the next few months so I can start something new.

I have completed work on Cuddles on today. Overall fun project and another Canadian Sherman done.

Slick looking I’ve always thought tanks with dozens blades are neat

Great looking model and that dozer blade looks fantastic!!

Great job on a unique tank. Nice tight build and excellent paint. The streaking and weathering look spot on. I love what you’ve done with the dozer blade - just the right amount of mud and bare metal. Outstanding model.

@bwilt @SSGToms thank you for the kind words, this has been a fun project to try out some new techniques thats for sure!

[metalhead85]

Excellent job Alex. Great build and in particular the finish is fantastic, very realistic grimy appearance.

[Youngun]

Thanks Richard! I am very happy with how it turned out. I have been fighting more and more to make my weathering more subtle but realistic

[metalhead85]

You have definitely succeeded here- looks excellent!
