Hello all.
After a bit of a frustrating conversation about build accuracy/dedication in another topic on armorama the issue of put up or shut up arose in respect to actually posting ones completed works before passing judgment onto others.
In that respect I give you my Tamiya M4A3. Built OOB except the camo nets which are medical roll gauze that I've painted and white glued. I actually finished this some time ago, but its the one beast on my shelf I'm most satisfied with and as the rest of my bench is perpetual WIP...
Cheers,
Don

I think you've done a nice build. I'd like to see some photos that show the details better and put the tank closer to the viewer. That was the kit that got me back into the hobby.

Looks good from what I can see, some closer pics would be useful. One thing, from what I can see it looks like the bags on the back of the turret are floating, maybe add something to attach them somewhere.
Cheers!

PS: Don't worry about the "other thread", I think they're fun to read but don't really care what some people think of those who don't go all the way. Registering here has upped my build quality a lot, so keep going and posting!

Thanks guys,
My camera and I aren't on speaking terms right now. I'll see what I can do about some closer shots. You're right about the stowage on the turret though, they are currently floating. Some straps might indeed be in order.
Cheers,
Don
