Sherman MK.III (part 1)

Hi everybody.
Over the next few posts I'll be taking you through how I make my models and what I use to do so.
I'll be using my Sherman MK.III in 1/35 scale as the model.
That's the box it came in. Notice the detail on the box art.
I'll start to run you through the tools that I'd usually use to complete the building stage of the model. On the left is my MMD fast drying Green Putty. I use it to fill in all the unwanted holes in the model, to give it texture or to act as weathering. The second on the left is a file then some super glue. It's meant to be fast drying, but it seems to take forever. For more instant results your meant to mix Talcom powder in. Next is my Non-toxic Liquid cement. That's just average model glue. My 2 knives/scalpels are next. One's a fine small blade while the other is bigger. Then there's another file and some really cool tweezers.

Here's an image of the instructions.

In case you don't know how all of the parts come in a box, here is a picture of the basic parts and more detailed parts including decals and tracks.

 

So far I've made most of the lower hull and wheels.

  I'll make a new post when I've done a decent amount of work.

Until next time,
James.G
