A couple of Shermans

Here's a couple of US Shermans I recently painted and assembled. They were on sale at a local model shop that was closing down, & I only bought them because they were so cheap. They are Italeri Fast Assmebly kits- two in a box.
Inspired by fellow blogger Thanos' weathering efforts I have had a go at a spot of weathering on them.
Hope you like them. Many of them are quite large images, so click on 'em to get a close up :)

    great work on these JS, the chipping is brilliant, did the shop have anything else worth buying?

      Thanks heaps Dan, I'm glad you like them.
      The shop owners closed down the whole thing..pity.
      My friend picked up the Italeri church & stone bridge from them, I got a Hornby tree making kit & some 1/72 Italeri plastic fences- not much else there to interest me.

      Thanks mate, I just kind of made it up as I went along- a wash here, a splodge there, even tried flicking some wet pigment on with an old toothbrush, I enjoyed having a mess about with them.

    I really like the weathering on these, subtle, but it works great.

    Nice and dirty, just like they should've been in reality.
    Spot on John! They look like they had their toll of fighting. :-)
    Well done!!

      Thanks T - I took some inspiration from your Panthers, it's great that we can all learn from each other.

    A great looking pair of tanks! SUbtle but convincing weathering, you could really believe they've been out in the elements for a while!
