Hi everyone! These are some pics of my WIP Sherman tank (2nd tank ive built so far) i took yesterday after i assembled the turret to the main body.

This is the first time ive done weathering, chipping and damage on a model so i was both scared and very excited on this aventure lol

Im planning on making a lil diorama with the crew making a stop and checking the damage after a fight. It will have tons of mud so ill probably come back to the tank and add more on the tracks.

Overall the tank isnt fully finished, i want to add more life to it in form of rags, maybe a barrel and some backpacks to make it feel more... homey(?

This model kit is from Zvezda - M4A2 Sherman Tank in 1:35 with the US decals on (comes with Soviet decals too

Hello everyone!

So i decided to make a tank! This is the 1:35 Chinese Main Battle Tank Type 85-ll from Trumpeter (1999). In terms of pieces is almost done minus the cables, translucent pieces and minis that im still finishing, but basic paint wise is done.

My question is- what else can i do to it to make it more realistic? I dont want it to look used or in combat, just markings of being used in general.

Im using Revell's enamel paints and brushes. No topcoat was added.

(Fun fact, the tank comes with a lil motor that makes the tracks move forward).
