Sabrejet Posted February 16, 2013 Share #13 Posted February 16, 2013 Love the panel-line shading on the aircraft and the weathering of the Super-Sherman! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeeper704 Posted February 16, 2013 Share #14 Posted February 16, 2013 Very nice work indeed. Small remark ... secure your packs and stuff on the tank (it is an error a lot of modelmakers make). But the weathering on the tanks and planes is amazing. I also see a submarine? Looking forward to seeing more of your work. Erwin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabrejet Posted February 17, 2013 Share #22 Posted February 17, 2013 I really rate your models, but just one constructive criticism which echoes something already hinted at...and meant in good faith. It's what I call "magnetic pack syndrome". I used to build 1:35 armour back in the 70s/80s...their hey-day! Back then, the one we all tried to emulate was the Belgian maestro himself, Francois Verlinden, who, via his techniques, elevated armor modelling to a new level. One thing he did (in error) and which we all proceeded to copy, thus perpetuating the error, was to festoon his vehicles with packs and bedrolls etc. It looked great....but logically it was impossible. Packs were attached to turret walls and hulls with no visible means of support. I made a point of studying many wartime pics of armour in the field. Plenty of exterior stores etc., for sure, but securely lashed down (where it would not interfere with the turret traverse or engine ventilation etc) and all packs were fastened / hung by their straps from convenient projections. They just don't adhere to the sides of the turret! I used to make straps from strips of masking tape so I could actually hang the packs from the same projections I'd observed in the photographs. It gave the models a more authentic appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Baker Posted February 17, 2013 Share #23 Posted February 17, 2013 Forum modeling competition? Lets say, the member with the best Sherman takes home the Actual 1/1 scale hatch covers for sale in the FS section?!? Are you volunteering to buy them and donate them? It would be a great cause! I think I would have to break out a kit myself!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrejet Posted February 17, 2013 Share #24 Posted February 17, 2013 An example of hanging packs (not my model!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis3006 Posted February 17, 2013 Author Share #25 Posted February 17, 2013 I know what you mean by the straps but i usually opted out of doing it because i was just too lazy to bother making the straps lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
