Hi Stu time will tell, it's not been done at this scale before.

A general start today, made up the water jerry cans for the side of a hole adding the right top. Thin down the two side stowage boxes. Made up to spare wheels, drill centres out added stud holes / retaining bolts and backing plates.
Before and after.
Next up front try sprocket bogie units and idler wheels.

Great build progress Pete, I can see why Simon couldn't start as he wouldn't know where to improve on a totally distorted kit to look toonish. :tears-of-joy: Still I'm sure he appreciated these little gems and envied your builds.
Cheers,
Richard

Cheers Richard I hope so, he always referred to them as Pete's bonkers builds but in a complementary way, it's so sad I'll never read that again:sad: .

Got all the running gear made up the front drive sprockets, twin wheeled bogie's and the rear twin wheeled idler.
Cleaned up all the hull filling.
Mockup only, as you can see not much room and very wide.
Thank you for looking in.

Started work on the new engine deck adding new covers, cut hole for grill made from white card. Added two resin cast armoured fuel cap (had made 20 for previous Toon Sherman so from stock box really)
Thank you for looking in, I don't think this was a good choice looking back now sorry.

Thank you very much, that is something Mr T was exceptional at not the big bits but small bits, hopefully some little bit has now rubbed off on me, I'd like to think so.

Hi Pete
I reckon you build Toons 'cause they have fewer wheels to clean up!
:rolling: :smiling: :tongue-out3:

Looks good so far Pete. As I’ve said before, you get more “real” modelling into these little jobs than most of us do in full blown scale replicas.

Dam and blast I've been rumbled :smiling2::smiling2::smiling2:, well it took you longHi Pete

Very kind of you to say so, just think how much it cost if I put all that into a 1:35 :cold-sweat::cold-sweat::cold-sweat:.
Pete.
You wouldn’t have to buy the extra running gear, but then the fun factor would be lower as well.....

Hi got a early start today finished front and engine deck. Made up and added front tow eyes, replaced the machine gun with large one, thin down brush guards will be adding clear lenses to the headlights, replaced lifting rings to glacier front glacier plate, replaced front hatch handles using copper wire, made recovery cable using copper wire.
On the rear added lifting rings, rear lights and brush guards, engine cooling vent/ trunking, main gun barrel transport lock and brackets, stowage shelf, rear telephone and rear engine door handle.
Thank you for looking in.
Hope you and Mr T like it.
