Oh God where was I with this.... :hmm:

Sorry, I've not been on much - extreme workload plus health issues have kept me silent. I have been slowly progressing this Sherman though.

Everything has been built up and I've painted the Hull, Turret and Running gear OD. I've just started the detail painting.

Once that's done I'll add a gloss and decals.

Cheers!

Yeah, what he said!

Thanks Gents - I had a flair up of my old foot problem, added to that I think I may have broken my toe. It's finally starting to get back to normal.

Hope you’re feeling better. I was wondering where you disappeared to.

You don’t build with your feet!

Looking good there Stuart! :shoutout: You’re most of the way to the finish line at this point.

LOL!!! Damn my secrets out! No, it's a thing called Metatarsalgia, where you foot swells up painfully. I've mentioned an attack before - it was John that put me on to wearing Birkensocks in the house to help relive it.

Thanks Carlos - I'm getting there, I'm just painting up the tyres on the road wheels.

Weathering's the bit that's going to stump me. I don't really want to over do it, but I do want to dirty it up a bit. I'll post up some pic's at somepoint of what products I have and see if anyone has some suggestions.
