Sherman firefly, Revell 1/76

Hello to all
I like to stick planes, but I got a gift - model tank. Oh no, I thought

I used to think that a pile of such a model (preferably Tiger

), but in the scale of 1/35... whatever
This will be my training ground. I've never consisted tank, so it will be interesting
I'll try not to spoil it
This is my patient:
Therefore, I have no idea about tanks I decided to read some materials about Sherman
Ok let's start
First I made a bridge that was in the box.
So he looked at the beginning like that:
It was painted and pelted with everything I had in the house
I also made the headlights
I used a transparent frame of the old model
I also made the frame out of wire for lamps
Then I fixed the barrel
I also made handles for towing
and tools (the tools on model were very flat)
The last thing I did is something I've always dreamed of, but the aircraft had to be very calm... Weathering.
Ugly, dirty and bad

I liked it, unless I start to build a more tanks
I use what I have on hand, sand, glue, pastels. Just what I see in the house was goes to the model
That's all for now, soon accomplishes the rest of details and I need to again use an airbrush, a little scared this because I've seen that painting of tanks is modulation of color and I do not know yet what's going on.
Cheers
Paul

Great job on those replacement tools and the weathering. One thing I noticed is the size of the bricks on the bridge, I suspect these are more likely to be stone rather than brick. Not a critisism but a general comment.
Regards Dave.

You read my mind

exactly the same, I think. I'll have to change it, besides this red color and so it seems to me to be too strong, at the end I will try to change it to such as these colors ->

Draw it mild!
Anyone can do such things, there is nothing special.
I painted Sherman. And here you can see that I am still weak modeller

I'll still be working on it, I am far not as I imagined it. I think too much I like the dirt
Regards
Paul

Thank you very much for your kind words. Admittedly, it took some time, but the model has not finished. Still I have with him a little work. Now the moment I started a new project - russian hind;
But as soon as I'm done for sure return to the tanks permanently, the more that is waiting for me tiger king

Best regards and see you soon
