Yet another Oddball's Sherman
My longtime project (still in progress). Base was Taigen chassis and turret and Mato metal hull. It runs on Open Panzer TCB.
Still to do: front fenders, more stowage, weathering, painting Oddball. I don't have speed of Frankie so it will take some time.
Barrell thread protector was made on lathe by my dad.
3D printed speaker:
Back mudflaps made of brass.
3D printed spare tracks and 50 cal barrell:
3D printed travel lock specific for M4A3E4 version.:
Oddball made of three figures:
Some resin stowage added, marking was made using masks.
Songs from "Kelly's Heroes" added

Lovely detail work on the top of the turret.

Re: Yet another Oddball's Sherman
Thanks My painting skills are not the best so Oddball looks little "stoned"
Re: Yet another Oddball's Sherman
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!Kaczor wrote:Thanks My painting skills are not the best so Oddball looks little "stoned"

Bonus points if the speaker can play his dog impressions!

I returned to construction and made tin fenders.

Lantern is 3D printed plus some brass wires. Oil can is made of doll house water can from Aliexpress.
