95% there, just a few small touch ups and ready for Bovington. Really enjoy getting back into modelling, very different from wargaming in ways, but lots of fun.

Started weathering, heavier than I normally would, but fury is severely weathered in the movie. Lots more to do on this project.

So I think I'm calling this done (for now), and hope @tomjmegan.bsky.social will accept a late entry into the #festivetankchallenge. Whilst my soul is in 15mm for ww2, bar some noteable exceptions, 28mm tanks are great to paint up.

Late shift finish so not much progress tonight, managed 20 minutes on taking the edge of the decals. Also ordered a couple of hobby supplies for the weathering, fingers crossed there here by my 4 off days.

Although sadly my gaming appointment today fell through because of the weather, it left time to clean up my desk. I really needed more space, as you can see on the left. More space now. As you can see, #festivetankchallenge has inspired me. But there's other stuff too

Too late for #FestiveTankChallenge but I'm happier with some storage and snow effects on.

Wheels and tracks worked on today and some decals. Kit comes with allied stars aswell but I'm staying true to the Hollywood version. Its beginning to start to look like a film 🌟. Base has also been primed, slowly its coming together.

Think my pigment weathering needs more practice but I'm okay with my #festivetankchallenge Sherman for now. Strangely a Crusader seems to have been assembled this afternoon. Too cold to prime so back to the Old West tomorrow hopefully.

I didn't know that #FestiveTankChallenge was a thing AND I am a novice modeller but anyway here's my effort

First pass of main colours and some washes done. Need to let this dry and then decals and weathering ahoy - definitely my favourite part of the process.

Final #FestiveTankChallenge … I’ve gone about as far as I dare before I get hold of the missing parts from this Ryefield Models full interior Sherman. It’s a a stunning kit, sadly missing key parts. I suspect it will be ages before I return to it unless anyone can print the parts? #HistScaleModels

#festivetankchallenge A day late on completion but finally finished my Sherman after being away for a few days. Modelled as a Firefly of C-Sqn 6th Armoured Regiment (1st Hussars) of 2nd Canadian Armoured Brigade. Thanks as always to @tomjmegan.bsky.social for the motivation. #wargaming #scalemodels

Willing to call #FestiveTankChallenge2025 a success! A platoon of 5 Shermans complete for Flames of War in the colors of Saunders University High School from Girls Und Panzer. With magnitized turrets I can run them as 75 or 76mm variants. #FestiveTankChallenge #GirlsUndPanzer

#FestiveTankChallenge day 11 - well they’re not finished (my tin of varnish isn’t playing ball) but I’m calling them *done* (or at least table-ready for me, happy with that). It’s been a super challenge, thanks Tom and all who took part - HNY and see you again in December!

New years’s day 2026.
Less a few broken pieces and a couple that spun off into the never never, the firefly is complete. Now for some paint, as I push ahead with a pace of a slightly startled snail. 🐌

All finished yesterday, bar the varnish. 1/100 fdm printed Bergman firefly. Deliberately bad "field applied" barrel camouflage.
