sherman M4 Extratech

Judge 1: A nice little scene you’ve created here, one that everyone would liked to see more of, try cropping the photo’s much closer and isolating different parts of the model, see our photo guide for some tips. Overall the model is well made but a few of the bogies are out of alignment, if you were trying to articulate the suspension this part of the bogie never moved, it was the arms holding the wheels that went up and down. The paint work seems to be well applied but is a bit monotonous lacking tonal variety and areas of contrast. The extra stowage is well done and positioned (I really like the camo net). The weathering is too subtle and apart from the tracks subtracts from the realism.
Judge 2: I really like this one a Sherman of the 23rd Hussars,29th Armour Brigade of the 11th Armoured Division in Operation Goodwood against the 12th SS panzer division by the looks! the biggest issue is the crooked suspension & some tracks also the seam along the turret halves.the stowage on the front & rolled up camo on the engine deck are good touches. the OD basecoat is even & looks like a clean build , extra details like the sandskirt trim & rear turret bin look good, other things to detail would be the return roller arms.The decals are nicely applied the finish is abit bland as there is no preshading,pinwashes,drybrushing or migment dusting. this would fair better as a diorama as the figures look great & same with the grass.
Judge 3: A well built model and the groundwork is very nicely done (unfortunately the groundwork and figures don't count towards the final result). The base colour has been applied well but I think some further weathering and shading would improve the model (stronger shadows with some pin washing and perhaps more dust / dry mud.
