Its a good job Barry does not put the sub assemblies in for Tank of the month , probably more work in the above MG gun station than most tanks submitted.

Just incredible the detail and craftsmanship being displayed.

Barry,

I bet it almost pains you to paint it and hide all that work! Great work--Really!

I think just that TC station is a model to be displayed by itself, seems detail gets hidden when surrounded by more detail..

I think I have said it before, you really should work for the curator of models or some big firm like Northrop Grumman building all their models of the stuff they build.

Looking at your fine work I feel like a 3 year old playing with crayons attempting to pass my stuff off as art!

Cheers!

Thank you sir for the very kind words.

I had considered working in the model building business a couple of times. However after spending 12 years providing custom builds and painting of model railroad equipment for my friends hobby shop I found that I had lost my hobby as it had turned into a business.

Nope, I will just stick with building for myself without the shackles of time!

Thanks guys for the very kind words.

I continue to strive for accuracy and quality. Numerous pieces have been made numerous times in my attempt to build an accurate model. I have lots of scraped attempts and still some parts are not to my complete satisfaction but I've settled with they are as good as I can get.

Gunner’s Primary Sight (GPS)

Here is a quick picture of the GPS that I am working to Replicate. It has taken a while to get to this point. The GPS Head/Housing has many angles and without the help of Sean it would have been less accurate. The internal mirror and lens and opening would have truly been a WAG!



Here’ my effort thus far, I'm pretty please! There are still several details to be worked through.



More to come!
