Dermo245 Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 So after getting the ok from the Sarge (thank you), I'm in with this one.. Meng M4A1 by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr Just three sprues, two vinyl tracks and some decals Meng M4A1 contents by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr Going to add a couple of Tamiya figures, kindly donated by club colleague and Sherman guru Pat. He also sold me the kit (cheers Pat). Tamiya crewmen by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr I know it doesn't have a scale and looks a bit odd in this company.....but thought it might be something to have a bit of fun with! Cheers, Dermot 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonhoff Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 It's a lovely little kit - I built mine a while back, no real pitfalls to note and it fits really well. Enjoy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dermo245 Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 (edited) So some more done on this one. Meng M4A1 Toon Sherman_hull_3 by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr Coat of primer and drilled out the for the machine gun in the mantlet. Meng M4A1 Toon Sherman_primer by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr And then painted up - this is Bronze Green instead of Olive Drab, based on the final finish I've planned for this one. Meng M4A1 Toon Sherman_paint_2 by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr More silliness later! Thanks for looking.

Dermo245 Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 Bit more done with the Toon Sherman. Running gear and vinyl tracks added. I've painted the tracks Panzer Grey and they still need to be weathered. Meng M4A1 Toon Sherman_tracks by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr Side of the turret got some spare 'track' which I hacked out of plasticard. Meng M4A1 Toon Sherman_turret2 by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr And the essentials for an oddball Sherman like this will be.....a barrel extender and loudspeaker! Meng M4A1 Toon Sherman_extras by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr Woof woof!! Cheers, Dermot 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dermo245 Posted March 20, 2018 Author Share Posted March 20, 2018 So a bit more done on the Oddball Sherman Tribute 'Toon.. The Turret with speaker and crewman added. Sheesh......I thought my figure painting was ok until I saw this! Meng M4A1 Toon Sherman_turret3 by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr The hull with the barrel-extender added and some homemade stowage too. The tracks also got a coat of dark earth pigment. Meng M4A1 Toon Sherman_hull_4 by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr And both with some panel-line weathering. Meng M4A1 Toon Sherman_hull_6 by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr And then drying with a Flat Coat of varnish. Meng M4A1 Toon Sherman_hull_5 by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr Will try my hand at a dot filter later to make the colour a bit more interesting. Thanks for looking.

Dermo245 Posted March 31, 2018 Author Share Posted March 31, 2018 Well she's done. Will make up a base to display her properly but for now, happy how the Oddball Sherman turned out. Meng M4A1 Toon Oddball_Sherman_Done by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr Meng M4A1 Toon Oddball_Sherman_Done (7) by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr Just a bit of fun really and thanks for allowing this one to mix with the great Sherman and M3/M4 builds here. I don't build Armour kits (as you can tell) and to those that do, I salute you and am always impressed by your builds. Meng M4A1 Toon Oddball_Sherman_Done (8) by Dermot Moriarty, on Flickr Will post some more pics in the Gallery, thanks to the Sarge for leading this GB and in the words of Oddball himself...... WOOF WOOF! Cheers, Dermot 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
