I am just getting back to the hobby after a 30 year absence. Below are some pics of my first completed armour kit since returning to the hobby during the past year. It was a great re-learning forgotten skills and learning new ones from others on this forum.

Some details:

Tamiya Kit # 35139, 1/35, M4A3E3 Jumbo Sherman
RB Model gun barrel
RB Model Browning M2
Casting surfaces created using liquid glue and stippling as well as a mechanical rotor tool.
Front weld seams created with Milliput. Side welds created with stretched sprue, melted with glue and textured with tool.
Archer dry transfer decals.

Great job on the weathering!
