A few weeks ago while at the Las Vegas Open, Trenchworx was onsite selling a few of their models. I myself picked up their soon to be released German Wirbelwind, but my son saw a M4A1 76M Sherman sitting on their table and he had to have it. Seeing how the box is not that big, I knew I could get it to fit in my suitcase with me so I can get it painted for him in time for this years AdeptiCon. I also want to add, that these Trenchworx models are beautiful. They were easy to assemble with great instructions and not much flash had to be cleaned off of them.
As I mentioned yesterday, when I got home from Las Vegas, I realized all my decals were still in storage back in Arizona. So I had to do a quick order for some new ones.
Last weekend I airbrushed the basecoat of the tank, then late last week finished up the rest of the tank. My new decals arrived yesterday and I applied them last night. This was also my first time using Vallejo Decal Medium and Vallejo Decal Fix for applying decals, and I am quite happy with the process.
My decal order was also screwed up. I had ordered a set of 'ringed stars' and just 'stars'. I was shipped the 'ringed stars', but instead of normal 'stars', the second set was the 'broken ring stars'. So I had to do my best and cut around the broken circles. I had to use a little touch up paint where I could not get as close, but I think they turned out alright.
Now my son will be for sure adding this tank to his 1250pt US Nationals list for AdeptiCon 2017.

That is a good looking model kit. Looks even better with paint on it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mike, I'm not a fan of resin, but when I opened this box up I was amazed. Looking forward to the Wirbelwind I have, jusf not sure when I'll get to it. Been in British mode lately.
