Critique Welcomed The mighty Sherman

[Kev Pugh]

Just a couple of the M4a3 that features in my WWII sets, mid build, lots more detailing to do before she is ready for the front..

My WWII collection now comprises:

PzKpfW III
PzKpfW VI AKA Tiger
PzKpfW VI scratch build half complete this will be a static piece, maybe even a damaged OOA

M4a3 Sherman 105

All 1/16th scale, further additions are planned but each scratch build can take several months to get under way from gathering plans, drawing up scale drawings, then designing and building, painting etc. so don't expect too much but thanks for taking time to look and comment

Blimey, scratch built - I'm even more impressed now! Do you use donor models for stuff like the tracks and wheels?

 

[Kev Pugh]

Thanks Pete, yes on this one the tracks and wheels are from donors but I have plans for a 1/6 scale build from scratch, am just wondering if the making shed can cope with casting as well as welding and fabricating ;-)

 

[Brian Moore]

Built from scratch...? I feel useless now! [doh]

Fantastic, Kev!

 

[Kev Pugh]

Brian they are not all scratch built only the OOA so you have no need to feel useless

 

[Paul Lange]

And who says that men never grow up? Nice Kev and the scratch built tank is looking pretty good. I don't know if this is useful for you Sylmasta Online Catalogue it is a company that I have worked with in the past. The bulk epoxy putties might help as an alternative to casting.

Thanks Paul

 

[Beth Carter]

love the low perspective on the second. that thing looks huge.

Is the tank in the first shot sitting in a forest of bamboo? It looks so real that it can't be just short grass!

 

[Glenn Clabo]

This one slipped by me...must be stealth technology involved.

Thanks Ralph. but it is in my garden, slightly uncut perhaps this should be a Pacific campaign
