Detroit's Finest

M4A1 Sherman Platoon, vehicles by Battlefront. Designed to match the first platoon I did: M4A1 Sherman Platoon. The pictures should largely speak for themselves. (Click to expand)






I tried to emphasise the rounded M4A1 cast-hulls with a double-highlight: an intermediate , just slightly lighter highlight, then a more confined, lighter highlight painted within the previous. It looks OK representing a softer edge without too much extra work (they're enough as it is!).












Rear deck view: lots of clutter and stowage added in addition to the pre-moulded resin bits. The painting thereof adds a fair bit more time but is probably worth it.

  1. Excellent painting, very nice overall look. Just as I like them - not too dirty, looking slightly cartoonish. VERY nice:)
