Steve, not a stupid question bud. Sorry for this late reply, been on holiday and didn't have much time for posting and commenting. You can contact Richard of K4 here. k4weathering@gmail.com
I'm finally getting a bit of bench time after a couple f weeks off, man is good to smell paint again. Did some chipping on the Sherman and am doing some light pin washes and shading at the moment. camo will go on sometime after the wash dries.
Stay tuned folks

Thanks John and Spud, good to hear I was missed. I didn't go far, just had little time to post or really check the forum.
Pics will come up once the camo and chipping is on. Need to plan the decs as well.

Quick update of the camo. Gonna start some chipping on the brown. Then comes clear coat and decs.   You'll notice there are three colors on this one. The desert tan and dark brown camo, along with the factory green in the chipping. I would think that in the extremes of the desert along with a crew living on this tank that it would get chipped to the green factory paint. Update after the chipping and decs |

Still chipping away on the Shermie. Doing what I can when I can. Will ship a bit more then add some washes and filters, then a few more chips. Need to build up the effects in layers. Then the dusting will start.

Thanks for the kind words, and especially great to hear you are getting something out of the forum. That is what it should be all about and knowing members take something from what is shown from all members means a lot.

Thanks Martyn and Mark. The layers are what take the longest. T get the most out of this model there are already three filters and washes and chipping in between. Well at least I think it adds depth or dimension to the model. Will have some pics up today.
