Yet another Oddball's Sherman

Post by Kaczor »

My longtime project (still in progress). Base was Taigen chassis and turret and Mato metal hull. It runs on Open Panzer TCB.

Oddball made of three figures:

Some resin stowage added, marking was made using masks.

Songs from "Kelly's Heroes" added ;)

Still to do: front fenders, more stowage, weathering, painting Oddball. I don't have speed of Frankie so it will take some time.

A really nice job sir! I would not worry about Oddball looking stoned. I should imagine that given the chance the film character would have spent most of the day stoned!
