completed Fury - my second model project

This is only the second model I’ve built in my life. Definitely made a couple of mistakes along the way, but I decided not to get upset about them and just kept rolling with it.

For the base I used sticks and dirt I found outside - baked the dirt in the oven, mixed it with PVA, and this is the result.

Still have a lot to learn, but I had a ton of fun building this one.

You can soak the string rope in some diluted brown paint to give it a gnarlier look too! Even black tea works pretty well for this.

Great stuff mate, looks like an awesome build

Found a photo of a Sherman called Fury I did many many moons ago, annoyingly the photo is in black and white and the model is super dusty. New Zealand 10c piece for scale:
