What "Another" Sherman .. this time 10mm from Pendrakon

As part of the props for the Wargames Developments (WD) Convention Demonstration Game 2024 of Arnhem (1944), I decided I needed to paint up a Sherman tank. I needed a relatively small one, ignoring the fact that I had several suitable models already (15mm and 1/200), I thought it appropriate to use a Pendrakon 10mm Sherman V seeing as the game was going to be ran at their Battleground Show (see below, the Sherman faced off against a Stug IIIG and some German Infantry moving up a linear battle track/ladder): 


It went together, four pieces, no flash, fitting in tightly together with a tiny bit of filing. 

The painting scheme was:

  • A grey primer (Airfix Acrylic 001), with a Vallejo Brown Dipping Wash liberally spread into the cracks. 
  • Next an undercoat shade of (924) Russian Uniform Green.
  • Base layer of 50% Olive Grey (888) and 50% Russian Uniform Green (924).
  • Final highlight Olive Grey (924). 
  • Tracks matt Black (950) and dry brushed Gun Metal (863).
I planned but epically failed to put any decals on it but I did manage to put it on a base (not shown above) which took more time than I thought, hence no decals!

Note: The Sherman faced against the Stug III shown in an earlier post (click link)!
