Title: 76mm Sherman Tanks
Post by: moiterei_1984 on 02 October 2016, 12:47:22 PM

Having recently bought the newish 'Tank' game by Battlefront (and some more reinforcements of course  :D) I used the chance to continue work on my 15mm Battle of the Bulge project.

I'm not yet quite satisfied with both the snow and the mud on the tracks. Once I do find a nice recipe for snow I'll also add some snow to the tanks, but for now they're done.

Outstanding painting. Personally, I think the snow itself is perfectly fine, but I think the overall impression suffers a bit from the base edges being a bit too warm a brown. As it stands, it reminds me more of frosting on a chocolate cake. It's probably not an option due to having to rework all bases, but using a colder, darker brown, probably with some anthracite or Panzer Grey to dull it down, might result in a colder overall effect.

I wouldn't overdo the tracks. I'd say those are perfectly fine just like they are.

Those are lovely (where did the stowage come from?).
