Always in for your builds PW!

A Sherman with a long barrel is formidable in it's look.

[Peterpools]

PW, great start and you're flying through the build. Completely agree, the beauty will be in the painting and weathering.

 

[PanzerWomble]

Moving on ...lower hull done , turret done , just finishing upper hull . 

Typical Tamiya no engine bay , just a void so use some mesh just to give it a feel . 

Holes on Deck 

 

Brass mesh 

 

Will paint it all black in bay so will pass casual inspection 

 

 

 

[PanzerWomble]

Other recent Tamiya fudge is solid hatch handles , they use to do them separate , but easy to replace with bent 0.5mm wire. 

 

 

 

Will be fine under paint . Stuff like this puts the old Jap favourite in Division 3 for me these days . 

 

Nearing completion of the build , now off to watch the Sopranos with Mrs Womble !

Awesome progress on the Sherman. You're flying through the build.

Looking good!  

Sopranos is one of my top three favorite TV series.  What season are you on?

Bet 'The Wire' is on that list lol . 

Half way through Season 4 , where Furio gets all mooney over Carmella 

Done the whole series a few times , it is one of the all time best series . Still feels odd it's 25 years old now , I remember watching it coming out . It's aged well IMHO 

 

[CANicoll]

Great series!!!  Band of Brothers marathon was on this weekend, too...

Come to a short stop . Decided to buy some nice resin M51 stowage from John at GaiJin in Cornwall ....and it will be about 2 weeks before it arrives ..so my plan to roll straight into paint has been put back as I'd rather glue all the stowage on before painting ;- it falls of the paint otherwise . 

 

Slightly annoying but as I hadn't planned to enter this model , anyhoo . Will give me time to get some diorama ideas together , although IDF figures seem short on the ground .

Kurt inspects the progress of "Mr Inadequate" ....last time he saw a barrel that long was on his old King Tiger.  Ho hum .

I like the damaged road wheels , nice touch.

Cheers
