Davey. Thanks Davey, The pictures I've got has a little bit hanging off the sides, not like the European ones that brought everything including the kitchen sink. I may have to look at other tanks in North Africa to get some stowadge ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loving the head poking out from the hull Thanks Nigel, ive got a little sculpting to do first, hopefully I will get some paint on them over the weekend. I finished off the rest of the crew last night, hopefully the poses replicate the picture? I will get some paint on the running gear to, leaving just the tracks to finish off. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind regards, Stix Thanks Guys, between the 2 sets I was able to build a close match, I've got to cover the odd pair of shorts but nothing to major. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 A few hours spent at the bench this weekend, not a lot to show for it as it was mainly painting bits. I got a bit of bad news, the owner of Endless Models in Salisbury Mr David Grove died after a long battle with Cancer. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Good progress Ozzy - the figures are looking good with the paint going on. And sorry to hear the news about Mr Grove. Kind regards, Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badder Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Looking good Ozzy! I love a nice crowd on a Sherman! I didn't know him, but sorry to hear about Mr Grove. No doubt he was a great ambassador for our hobby, as all model shop owners are. ps, great to see a work surface approaching a level half as messy as mine!

Kind regards, Stix Thanks Stix, I've spent a few hours toning down Khaki to get a lighter look, it is a bit of sad news hopefully the shop will continue to trade 1 hour ago, Badder said: Looking good Ozzy!

Rearguards Badder Thanks Badder, with a little plastic surgery they all fit nicely around the turret, he will be missed as he's been part of the modelling scene for over 20 years, first opening the Salisbury model center, he took a break for a few years after the loss of his business partner before opening Endless Models. to be fair that looks relatively tidy for once. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrancisGL Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Nice progress, when it is weathered, it will be very good... I'm sorry I missed it, but I have not gone through the GBST thread until yesterday, that I'm going to start with my kit, and I see that there are already great progresses everywhere ... Cheers Ozzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Ozzy Thanks Francis, a bit of dust will tone it all nicely, there's plenty of nice build to catch up on. There is a number of armour GB's planned over the next 18 months.

Thanks Nigel, the kits gone together really well, i impressed myself with the soldering as it's the first I had done since school. I just need to get a good drill bit for those tracks.

I would liked to have attended, unfortunately I'm the other side of the country next week. I had known him for over 20 years and regularly pop in the shop and if he didn't have it. it wasn't long before it was in the shop, hopefully the shop will stay open as its nice to have two model shops either end of town.

Ozzy Posted March 8, 2018 Author Share Posted March 8, 2018 I'm currently away from home for a couple of weeks, due to the days ticking down and not been able to find a drill bit that lasted more than 2 track links. I had a little think, I found some DS tracks in my draw. Unfortunately these were the chevron type, to overcome this I cut the chevrons off with sprue cutters and then sanded down any remaining. I will get some pictures on my return. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Steve Thanks Steve, its all coming together nicely, I've made a start on the base today. I've got some sand from my travels, this batch is from one of my many trips to southern Iraq. I'm going to cover the base with the sand to hopefully give an authentic desert look. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
