Dads203 Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 Looking good! One tip if I may? Throw a smidge of putty around the outside edge of the pistol port. That was cast into the turret and thus, no visible seam. If I am speaking out of turn, I apologize. G Funny enough G , just done that fella, looks much better Thank you all for the comments chaps Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxy Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Great job Dan. Just a little worried on the hatch periscope, is it not the wrong way around!!!, or maybe me being finiky (Wrong). I know it is turnable so maybe thats ok the way it is. Great work on the suspension. foxy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great work on the suspension. foxy Foxy .. Nice one matey You really know your Sherman tanks .. damn those meddling Cornish folk I almost got away with it !! I was going to turn it around but the CA glue really grabbed this part so I'll rely on the real thing was moveable, only noticed it after it had been glued for about 20 mins.

Dads203 Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 Thanks you Badder and Foxy Just roughing out the commander figure, he's keeping his head down. So far these are as said the kit figures with resin heads, I now need to come up with a loader that would fit the pose of the rest of the crew.. I'll be back with more later.

Dads203 Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 Thank you chaps :-) Adding the foundry marks and numbers. More work required to blend in the pistol port casting yet, once done the turret will get extra texture added. Cheers Dan 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dads203 Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 Cheers Francis So more casting numbers, Sherman parts were very well catalogued. Engine hatch bumpstops and handles, 4 more required for the main engine hatch. More later Dan 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
