Pictures of the stowage blocks made up with the 3M tape if anyone is interested. Also, a few more shots of Maxene. Just because.

By God Painless... you have got to pimp Crazy Joe's tank before doing the Kv2

From a distance it looks like Joe is giving Charming Charlie's Sherman the wantfull eye

actually up close as well

Good Morning, ALpha,
Joe's M4A1 will clean up nicely once I apply a few of the lessons I've learned from doing the M4A3 to it. I don't want to get into it right now because it will wind up sitting in pieces while I am gone. I am a slow worker and go over things a few times before I implement them. I will begin on it as soon as I return. It will be a great project to work on while I am waiting for KV-2 stuff to arrive. I am already researching Poole's 'In The Mood' to see how close Mato came. ( looks pretty close )
regards,
Painless

Hey Painless... looked up that " in the mood " tank ..agree... Mato did come close...

Almost an exact match I would say

...What's even more interesting is that even that Lafayette Pool resembles Crazy Joe

So it looks like you're way ahead on this one

Alpha,
You know that tank would have some stories to tell if it could talk. ;o) I will try to make my M4A1 worthy of the man and his machine.

The interesting thing about that " in the mood" tank.... there were actually three ... according to one of the articles I read while doing the research.... the guy was definitely something... adding up to what would be considered an ace in aircraft warfare

Are you going to do the two tone camo paint it wore or the later solid green...either way I'm sure it'll really be something...maybe another Iconic built that will appear when searching for images of schumo parts

With that said...You must not change Crazy Joe or demote him

hi chaps
I have read somewhere, that poole chap had 3 shermans in as many months more or less, and his 3rd only had a few days [76] before that bit the dust and not sure if his 76 was camo , so it will be very interesting painless old chap what you come up with ....wot wot ......

Good Afternoon, Alpha, CH,
I will probably work with the tank in it's third ieteration as it was presented by MATO. That one had the tapered 76mm gun without the barrel banding. Removing over sized fittings and working to install a 2.4 GHZ set and giving it a serious paint job will go a long way to turning it into Poole's 'In The Mood'. He kept his tanks clean it looks like so basic weathering and not a lot of stowage. As CH noted, he didn't have the third version for long before it and his leg were shot out from under him. Don't worry, Alpha, Crazy Joe won't get changed but I may make up a figure suitable of being S.Sgt. Poole and give him his cleaned up M4A1 76(W). That means that Crazy Joe will have to get yet another new Sherman *chuckles*

Painless

Hey Canned... yup you're right ...one had a similar paint scheme as yours one was like this one green on green...and I guess the third was just plain green

HMMMMMMMMMMMM.......Thinking this is not a good project for you Painless

...
.removing Crazy Joe from his command shouldn't have been a consideration

...almost as bad as repainting him

going to be sad watching you revamp the next one
