Glad you like it fynsdad... it's far from perfect... If I had your magic hands ... skill and knowledge it might be betterfynsdad wrote:I'm liking the looks of that a lot Mike, I may have to copy you and put skirts on my next one
Good eye Herman.... yes they do make the "legs" look thin...reason I don't really care for skirts on a tank lol...especially the early Shermans ...later models that had the wider shoes look a little better... but more or less it's the look the Sherman acquires ..if it weren't for the anime.. I may probably have not even ventured to make this variantHERMAN BIX wrote:One never knows how the colour choice will turn out Mr Heat when dealing with Mr Alpha...............for all we know it may turn up in a rainbow
Mr Alpha is it just me or does the 'Skirt' make the 'Legs' look thin ?
Best to wait until completion that way all bets are safe

Yes Sir Canned... there can be no other color that adorns this model than green... rest assured oh lord of the Shermans ...the final markings may not meet the standard... but the color will Hey Mike1... thanks for the kind evaluation...and help ... she really is coming along... at the moment have the parts that are sanded under some green primer coat.. just to make sure all the surfaces are straight ...provided the weather holds... might have some pictures later ... hope you tune in for that ...as I need all the advice I can get on this one lol..... as I too am not a fan of skirts on a tank either ... they look ok on Axis tanks...but for some reason just don't work on allied modelssassgrunt wrote:GREAT job on the skirts, Alpha! I may not like the look of skirts on a Sherman all that much, but they really look exactly the part. Another very nice (and very unique) build from your workshop. I'll bet that somewhere in a Girls Und Panzer modeling club in Japan, there is a shrine to you! -Mike
Wouldn't say it any different myself.sassgrunt wrote:GREAT job on the skirts, Alpha! I may not like the look of skirts on a Sherman all that much, but they really look exactly the part.

...Ok .... Now I remember lol.... the weather held out....not only did I get some picture taking in... I also did the bulk of the work on the rear bulkhead 
...a tad different from the other two which pretty much resemble the stock Heng Long... this one has the double access hatch...two circular covers welded to the bulkhead... and is rounded on the bottom edge ...with two single shackle brackets Hey Tk.... I hope you realize the reason why I am documenting this build is partially for youTKcommander wrote:Wouldn't say it any different myself.sassgrunt wrote:GREAT job on the skirts, Alpha!
