Hey folks,

Another projects squared away, this a mato full metal Sherman I've tweaked to get rid of the more questionable mato bits and improve the detail on.

The full builds here:

viewtopic.php?t=33694

I've added tamiya light guards, 50 cal, 50cal holder, tools, stowage, warm white headlight LEDs, dklm antenna, FR7 speaker and box, Clark tk40 control board and two sol crew.

It's the BB with servo recoil model.

Top notch, Capt. Tom. Splendid work. BTW, who makes the crew members?

Cheers

Thank you! Figures are from sol. They're a 4 man crew but I've only done the commander and gunner so far.

Hey folks,

This tanks been on a bit of a journey, sold it to a chap on the other side of the country some years ago. Last year I got it back in part trade for my abrams.

As I'd built it with half a mind to moving it on I didnt do all the little bits I wanted to one being the scope guards as my stock of schumo ones was limited and had other projects needed them.

Well step in a fellow tanker and resin printing master Brad of brush works studios. He's done me a load in resin. Went for a slightly thicker version so they're properly tough but looks for better than the chunky mato ones!

Before anyone says yes I've forgotten the one of the commander cupola, DOH. That will be rectified shortly.

Also trying some more stowage as it came back with most of it missing. ImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImage
