robgizlu Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Beefy - saw one of these at Telford yesterday, nicely done. I'd never seen one in the flesh before. Garish colurs but very fine. I was surprised how big it was Rob (PS - I'm now a member of the "D" club ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Good haul there Rob that is another reminder to get my finger out with mine Any how construction is all done and started with some paint on the jolly green giant reminds me of Martian 🛸 Primer from rattle can and then hull red then the green after masking lower hull While that was drying added some details to the shermans applique armour and will be adding some cargo to the trucks I know I said out of the box but they needed it honest Oh and I did not make SMW I went to the classic car show up at the NEC not far from telford and ended up getting these you can never have enough drills and blades for this hobby beefy 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courageous Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Looking great and as you say, you need to add cargo to those trucks, don't think they would've wasted the space. Stuart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beefy66 Posted November 21, 2018 Author Share Posted November 21, 2018 Well thanks for dropping buy Rob and Stuart and all the others looking over the jolly green giant cracking on with the paint scheme was not happy with the olive drab the instructions have you go for so repainted with a dark green instead nearly ready for decals. beefy 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Stuart the decking will be as you see it but the main cargo deck will have a lot of hard weathering done to it and the hull will get some light fading work done beefy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beefy66 Posted November 24, 2018 Author Share Posted November 24, 2018 Small update rigging on the mast done using some Infini rigging line and the stanchion rail done using some fine tan thread As you can see my freehand painting is not that neat close up but the weathering will hide that Also added the ID numbers And base coat on the Vehicles will be using the sponge to add the cargo load to the trucks this will be covered in tissue paper beefy 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
