A small update on this one. Bought a set of Bronco T48 workable tracks and a set of duckbills. They are gonna replace the plastic belt type tracks I already started painting.
The Sherman has had it's first layer of paint: grey primer.

Completed building of the tracks. Now I need to find some time to paint and wheather them.

Painted the Sherman in it's base colour. A mix of US light green and green zinc chrome of Vallejo Model Air.

I've adjusted the base colour of the Sherman. Think this is a little bit better.

Good question Olivier. The answer is quite simple: I painted the Universal Carrier I'm working on with a mix of 2 types of green which works very well on the Carrier because there's a layer of black paint underneath. So I painted this Sherman with that mixture too but because there's a layer of gray paint underneath it turned out much too light this time. I mixed US olive drab with US light green and adjusted the base colour. Now it's good enough to start wheatering and to start painting the details.

Added the decals and the first of several washes. The first one is a very thin olive drab.

Added a couple of pics of the Sherman with different stages of wheatering on different sides of the vehicle. Still alot to be done. Just to give an impression of the progress so far.

Added rain stripes to one side of the Sherman. First time I've done those. Turned out not too bad. Goal in the end is to have a pretty battle worn vehicle.

Thanks James! Started working in the base of the diorama. Trying some colors, turns out pretty good so far.

Thanks James!
I've added two pictures of the Sherman with the finished tank crew figure attached.

Painting of the 2nd American tanker and the surrendering German is finished.

In the process of painting some parts of a Panther tank that I'm gonna add to the base near the rail road track to give the impression that a Panther's knocked out there. The surrendering German will be passing the parts.

Superb work in all areas. This is going to come together as a stunner!

Wow, really like how the figures are turning out, and the Sherman is also really good

Very good progress! I also saw a D-day gun emplacement in the background, do you have pictures of this one as well, or is it not finished yet. Very curious!

Thank you for all the nice comments!
@Mathias, the D-Day gun emplacement is not finished yet. Will continue to work on that one when this project is done. Pictures of how it is until now can be found here: "Die Invasion! Sie kommen" | Album by M4A1 (1:35)

This project is done. Although not everything worked out as planned, I'm quite happy with it.

The creator is usually the most critical of their own work - trust me, to would kill to be able to make something like this!
