CDW Posted April 30, 2020 #211 Posted April 30, 2020 Nowadays, there are some very fine armor models out there, but none of them include the nice infantry figures like Tamiya did with their armor models. Always liked the extras Tamiya kits provided.

Jack12477 Posted May 8, 2020 Author #223 Posted May 8, 2020 Okay, I know you guys have all been waiting with baited breathe for the next installment of the Sherman tank model <he says laughingly>, so here's the completed model sans, extra figures and accessories, which still have to be assembled, painted and attached to the model. And yes, EG, I did take some model's license here too. The tank commander is 1st LT Elwood "Red" Wolfe and he does like to decorate his tank. Still haven't decided on how I will display it tho.

Jack12477 Posted May 10, 2020 Author #237 Posted May 10, 2020 (edited) Okay, I think I am now finished with all the figures and added accessories. EG, you wanted sandbags ! I think I captured the look, altho I have not decided on a color for the bags. Btw they are made from a children's modeling clay. The 3 figures to the left of the tank came with the Tamiya tank kit, the 4 on the right are from a Dragon figure kit I purchased as an add-on. Now to use the tank's cannon and blast my way out of this dungeon and get out in the yard for some yard work. Last night, May 9th around 5 PM EDT, we had a significant SNOW SQUALL blow thru with some pretty high wind gusts and near blizzard visibility for a couple hours. Thankfully it did not accumulate here but up north and in parts of western Vermont they got 5 to 10 inches accumulation.

Always liked the extras Tamiya kits provided. I just put together a kit of four figures from Dragon and I am pretty impressed with their quality, level of detail, and the fit of the individual parts. I would say they are on a par with Tamiya. popeye the sailor, Canute, mtaylor and 6 others 9 Quote Jack "No one is as smart as all of us" - Is ón cheann a thagann an cheird The craft comes from the head --------------------------------------------- Current build: US Constellation Non-ship builds: USCG UH-65A Dolphin M16 Multi-gun motor carriage diorama M4A3 Sherman Tanks dioramas 1936-1939 Mercedes Benz 540K 1934 Rolls-Royce Phantom II JSDF Light Armor Vehicle Figures: The Last Bridge: Raider Reaper Edge of Universe: Ianis The Last Bridge: Vadim with cart Completed build log(s): 18th Century Longboat , Marie Jeanne, Willie L Bennett 1888 50 ft Gaff-rigged Ice Yacht Scratch Build The Sullivans (DD 537) Liberty Ship SS John W Brown USS England (DE 635), Artesania Latina Titanic Lifeboat Gallery: Swift , Armed Virginia Sloop, Santisima Trinidad Captain's Launch , 18th Century Longboat , Marie Jeanne Other: Rhinebeck Aerodrome Tour
Canute Posted May 10, 2020 #239 Posted May 10, 2020 Jack, looking good. If I may hazard a guess, if the bags are burlap, they'd probably be a light tan. popeye the sailor, Edwardkenway, Egilman and 5 others 8 Quote Ken Started: MS Bounty Longboat, On Hold: Heinkel USS Choctaw paper Down the road: Shipyard HMC Alert 1/96 paper, Mamoli Constitution Cross, MS USN Picket Boat #1 Scratchbuild: Echo Cross Section Member Nautical Research Guild
mtaylor Posted May 11, 2020 #240 Posted May 11, 2020 Very nice work, Jack. Just curious, would the crew's side arms (the Thompson and M1 been kept outside the hull? I think the weather would have damaged them. But then, I know zip about tanks. lmagna, Jack12477, popeye the sailor and 2 others 5 Quote Mark "The shipwright is slow, but the wood is patient." - me Current Build: Past Builds: La Belle Poule 1765 - French Frigate from ANCRE plans - ON HOLD Triton Cross-Section NRG Hallf Hull Planking Kit HMS Sphinx 1775 - Vanguard Models - 1:64 Non-Ship Model: On hold, maybe forever: CH-53 Sikorsky - 1:48 - Revell - Completed Licorne - 1755 from Hahn Plans (Scratch) Version 2.0 (Abandoned)
