discussion SORRY mucked up, any way can you guess what it is yet.

[David Lovell]

All done bit of a drag in the end,dont like the mud and dust but learn by our mistakes, at some point I'd like to build again with Jakkos input there are a few easy bit and bobs one can do to improve the build not that its a bad kit , fair play to UM none of the big boys would or have been brave enough to bring it to 35th. Still here it is




And a pic of it along side a tiger just to show how they faced up in life size wise

Off to pick through the stash Dave.

Thanks Si I like to dip my toe in elsewhere occasionally but there is something special about 1/72. Dave

I keep thinking it’s not one of the prettier Sherman variants The model looks great, though. Almost makes me want to put it on my list of “to-build non-starter Sherman variants”

I think they both look grand, especially in 1/72, and especially the "mud and dust".
Never be afraid to "lay it on" so to speak, weathering wise. If you waddled about in muddy fields
and ran up and down dusty roads you would be a bit crusty yourself!
Oddball for sure, but I love it, do "build again".

Happier New Year,

Jim.

Jakko thanks again for your input on this build/kit and your encouragement and kind comments. Dave

Looks great to me, though that turret is a bit of a strange design isn’t it! The mud and dust is spot on.

 

[yak face]

Have to agree with everyone else dave , the mud and dust look just right . Great diddy build , i too find something attractive about small scale armour , Cheers tony
