I figured it would be a good idea to have a nice, painted firefly for my British force... They'll need a big gun and a big gun fights harder when it's painted. That's just how it works...
SO... in this video I show you how I did that.
This is the 28mm scale plastic Sherman Firefly from Warlord games that I built a while ago.
It's not an overly complex paint job, but I think it's good and it should look great on the table. If I ever manage to play...

Over the weekend I found an interesting way of doing tracks. First, you paint the tracks silver (or gray or whatever). Once that dries go over it in brown, while wiping off the stuff that covers the raised bit, as it gives the impression of mud that has sunk into the recesses of the tracks. I also found it dulls down the shine of silver, which makes it look really nice.

One tool I have discovered I like for bits of bared metal are Molotow markers, like the 1.5mm metallic silver. I've also had some good results with AK's weathering pencils, and Lifecolor's Liquid Pigment series.

I love the way the Firefly feels to hold it has a lot of weight to it.. its a solid beautiful kit easily one of Warlords best. Hope you can get around to doing a Warlord Chi Ha or Shinhoto Chi Ha. Love your work Herbert!!

Another thing you can blame your fuel stains on is that the crew where refueling the tank with a flimsy that leaked. They where called flimsy's for good reason

@Lo-tf6qt 6 жыл бұрын

Fun fact about the Firefly , the crews inside these shermans knew that German tank crews were taught to target Firefly tanks , so some Firefly tanks tried to hide the fact that they had long 3 inch cannons. They tried to move the gun muzzle brake further back and tried to cover up their longer cannon

Well done, but if you want a darker tone for your tank there is a colour in Vallejo's Panzer Aces series, if I remember is British Bronze Green, I had the Humbrol enamel and it should be similar

Herbert, did you varnish it before the green wash??

@HerbertErpaderp 5 жыл бұрын

I didn't. It's not an enamel wash so it wasn't going to damage the base coats and I wanted it to alter the layers beneath it a bit, so there wasn't much reason to add a varnish.

I use vallejo airbrush thinner. But water can be used too. It's thinned like pretty much any other paint. You add thinner until it's the consistency you want.

Looks great to me. Mind you, most wargamers are guys and color blindness is most dominant among men. No worries in that department. If a rivet counter gives you any pain, just tell him that he is color blind.

I think it looked much better before you airbrushed enamels. It dulls everything, eats away all the hard work you've done. Believe me, it looks better on the gaming table undusted.
