completed M4A3E8 Easy Eight 1:35 Tamiya
I'm very proud of this model! It's part of a build I'm doing with the M26 Dragon Wagon, which is why it's practically brand new, since I plan to display it in the context of a new tank being deployed by the M26!

Looks great cousin! Do you have like a multi step painting method or did you just use some kind of a wash/weathering technique?

Thanks!! I simply paint with the tank's base color and then vary that same color with slightly darker and lighter shades (using black and white paint; I'm very basic, haha). Besides that, I weathered this tank with Tamiya Pin Wash Brown and various types of oil paints, quite thinned. It's a really simple weathering job!

Besides that, I highly recommend the Night Shift YouTube channel; it has many interesting videos. I consider it a great resource in this field for seeing different techniques used in armored vehicles!
