Let’s See Your Buckets

Post by Jimster »

A very high percentage of WW2 German armor photos show one or two buckets hanging from the rear of the tank. I’ve even seen them on allied tanks to a lesser extent. It’s hard to ignore the fact that many tanks had them so let’s see who’s modeling them here.
Mine are Voyager photo etch pieces and I used photos to decide where to hang them. The weathering effects are courtesy of Jnewboy products.

Nice buckets. Love the art work, the wooden handle and the wooden one. Very creative and unique buckets for sure.

If you have some sorry fixation on buckets (Freud must have written something about it :haha: ) then you really must go look at Hermans builds,
Some lovely artwork that at the time got many more buckets appearing on the backs of our Tanks although there was a paucity of jacks on his Tanks at that time :lolno:
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

Does this count, I wash my air brush in it so it’s part of all my models?
