fatfingers Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 How do chaps, Got this one finished over the weekend. Tamiya kit with Value Gear resin stowage. Painted with Tamiya, Vallejo and Games Workshop. The base is a cheap photo frame with grass mat cut to size. Overall I'm fairly pleased with the end result. The tracks could do with a bit more doing to them as I feel the black chevrons are a bit stark. I will also probably add a figure at some point in the near future. Now this is done I can get on with my M3/M4 Group built entry Comments and suggestions welcome. Regards, Steve 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumblestripe Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Looks great. My entry for the M3/M4 Group build will be the Tamiya 1/48 Sherman M4A1 but finished as a British Army example (considerable tweakery required) The Tamiya 1/48th tanks and vehicles are a lovely combination of size and details. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasper dog Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Looks good and a base always sets them off really well. The 1/48 armour is great but I find them a tad small eyesight wise these days! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve27752 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 An excellent Sherman...........But, tie the front and rear gear down, or the first bump and you will loose all of your kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough i realised i forgot to add ties to the stowage the other day! Regards. Steve 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Henry Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Very nice work Steve. I have the same kit so it is nice to see what the finished product can look like ... assuming that I can build it close to your standards. Thanks for posting.
