Hi all

not posted that much this month so far .. its ben a crap modelmakeing month
there ben a few changes at work .and i will be doing my last night shift from monday and then on to days ! yippie .. 4 days on and 4 days off .. so with a bit of luck modelmaking while her in doors is at work on the week days

i hope some of you may remember i have been building away in the back ground the M31
recovery tank ..its based on an M3 lee ....

well i just had to do something .. different ... as far as i am aware ..and i am sure i will be proved wron
that on any UK site and maybe US no one has attempted a ww2 bridge laying tank

well i have .... and i would like to see you all also have a go with the mato sherman ..
there so may options ... that i think dave forgebear .. need to order a few more ..
as i will be after at leaset 6 more shemans .. i have a good few projects lined up and have been quietly buying up parts as and when i can find them

any way .... october .... as many of you may remeber i had an unhealthy dislike of garden centers .. so far i have escaped .. but its sunday tomorow ... ho crap

Really cool Iain, I am very impressed. The bridge material is it balsa? Well done job and very unique.

AWSOME! is it remote deploy?

My guess: looks like a combination of basswood, balsa, and polystyrene

Blake

the bridge .. is a mix of plastic card ,,and lolly pop stickes ....

and when i finish the whle thing the bridge will be remote deploy ...

still masses to do ....and never enough time to do it ..
