PSC M4A3 (W) Shermans - Finished!

I have completed the pack of 5 PSC Shermans.

I have tried to weather these more realistically than the Russian Tanks (here) I finished before - still they turned out a bit rougher than I had first intended. Take a look here to see how they looked prior to weathering and completion of details and tracks.

My only disappointment is with the dust effects I achieved with pigments was lost when I applied a coat of gloss varnish (for protection). I need a new method here - maybe I'll try a matt varnish after the dust and that will help keep the dusty look?

Here they are - hope you like them, Leave a comment!

Painting the PSC 15mm Shermans (WIP) ...

I bought a 5 pack of these models as my first 15mm WW2 purchase, with entering the world of FoW in mind.

This was after viewing this video on ThePaintingClinic YouTube channel which inspired me to attempt the painting and this then got me thinking about the gaming side too. It has been a long time since then and getting these models to this point, including deciding on IABSM in preference to FoW, and researching various techniques on AFVs and 15mm WW2.

This M4A3 (W) 76mm is ready for track painting and final weathering. The chipping is complete, and hopefully approrpriate enough and not a-historical or unrealistic.

Decals are Battlefront. Paints are Vallejo (Model Colour and Panzer Aces). Weathering will be AK Washes and Streaking Grimes.

Let me know if you want any info and what you think by leaving a comment!
