TAMIYA 1/35th M4A3E8 'Easy Eight'

(latest tooling)

Kit converted with extra frontal and turret 'cheek' armour.

Based on WWII photos.

 

Tamiya Acrylics, Humbrol weathering powders, Japanese 'Grit Paints', Daler and Rowney FW Acrylic Inks, Chipping fluid.

 

I had planned on making a diorama for this Sherman, but time proved too short. In fact, the Sherman and figures aren't finished either, but I'm having to call it done in order to meet the deadline. It will all get finished eventually!

 

Anyway, here's the five allowed pics, the first taken in front of a scratchbuilt building and snow scatter to lend some atmosphere:

Thanks to all who've followed, commented, advised, criticised and helped on this build, especially @Sgt.Squarehead fpr the WWII photos of the 'uparmoured' Sherman upon which this model is based.

 

Thanks for looking.

Here's my effort, a Meng 'Toon' M4 Sherman built as an Oddball variant seen in the classic "Kelly's Heroes".

Build thread is here if you're interested.

Thanks for allowing this one and really learned a lot about armour builds (and Shermans) on this GB.

Cheers and enjoy your modelling.

Hey guys,

 

Didn’t get to do the diorama I’d hoped to do, and didn’t even get a chance to take pictures away from the bench, but here’s my effort, a Tamiya Easy Eight.
