Mark Deliduka Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 This also makes my 588th armor model finished. I actually finished this about two and a half weeks ago, but haven't found time till now to post it. This model is the Israeli M-50 Super Sherman. It is a kitbash using the Dragon M-4 Sherman 105mm with HVSS suspension as the base kit and Corporal Overby's Motor Pool M-50 conversion set. I finally managed to get this finished. I dusted it with a light coat of dust with my airbrush, but it's difficult to see in these pics. Enough talk, here it is: Now I have several more kits and nine more T-34's to finish so stay tuned. I also completed an aircraft and a helicopter; feel free to go check them out in the Aircraft Forums. Meanwhile, comments are welcome; thanks for stopping in.

dsteingass Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) Man, I really like how you do your edge highlights. Do you start with a solid edge highlight, then later break it up in random places with basecoat color? My edge highlights end up always looking garish, or somewhat reflective in spots, like this: Especially because from your awesome pics, I think we are using the same highlight color (panzer buff interior?), although my camo stripes are a shade of mustard darker than your paint.

Mark Deliduka Posted January 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Thanks Dave. I go my highlights by dry brushing with the Testor's Model Master Light Ivory. I dip only the tips of the bristles in the paint and then keep brushing a cardboard or paper towel surface until it appears nothing more is coming off the brush. Then I dry-brush the tank. It takes awhile, but then I stop when I see a a slight appearance of ivory. Your highlights don't look that bad, I think you have a good technique there. Thanks again for the compliment.

Mark Deliduka Posted February 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Yeah, it works great, but takes so long to get the effect I like. Still, the results are worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
