Hi all,

Here are some photo's of my latest FINISHED model

The kit is the old dragon M4A1 "early" Sherman, I added the universal ABER PE set and an alu barrel.

The model has been painted with Tamiya acryls and had been finished with MIG pigments

The figures are from Verlinden product and are painted with Vallejo acryls

Here are the photo's I hope you like it

Good job, love the suspension!

cheers

Very nice! Love those tank riders, well painted!!!

Great job! Great combination of figs and vehicle.

The only items you may consider for future Shermans are 1) the location of the lifting lugs on your turret seems too high. Maybe make them about 3mm lower next time. 2) the co-ax .30cal MG barrel is protruding a bit too long. Maybe compare to pics to see how it should be.

Thnx

Great Job ! Your painting is Nicely done ...

Excellent progress, Martin! I really like the interaction among the crew and passengers. Your Sherman looks excellent. Dave

wow!!!
well done, where did you get the tank riders from, they are great, and very well painted, good combination of figures and tank

malc.

Thanks for the replies,

I'm aware of the few mistakes I've made, but I like the way the 30 cal looks like when it's this far out.
For the other "dimention) mistakes I've to check out the references.

Hi all,

I've Uploaded the finished photo's,
Please check them out and tell me what you think, comments are welkom

I usually don't Comment on Dios as I don't build them ,but only thing I can say is that rear guy needs something under his leg looks too straight out and Air can be seen under it.

Nice job other then that.

I really like your tank and riders. I've been putting both crew and riders on my most recent tanks. Gives the vehicles more character I think. Fabulous weathering as well.
Regards,Steve.

Martin ,

Very well done .
good build and the figures just give the tank realism and depth

I like the weathering on the lower hull

Cheers

Hi MArtin,

Nice work, the tank riders and the crew fit in well together and you've done a grand job on the Sherman.

Great stuff.

Al

Thanks all,

I've found another figure for my sherman

here it is



Martin

Looks good Martin. Maybe you should paint "Taxi" on it
Is the new figure a Verlinden too?

Yes it is also a verlinden form the "loading up" set.

I've uploaded the new photo's on the first post.

Hi Martin,

I hadn't noticed the teddybear on the turret before. Great detail and very original.

Excellent work, Martin. Love the weathering.

Steve

That did come out pretty good.

Thanks for all the Pics.

Could you tell me where the figure come from? what kit?
I love sherman and I love the sherman with lots of soldiers!

Thanks for the kind replies

The figures:
Driver is from Dragon's: "US tank crew"
The 3 figures on the turret are from Verlinden "US AFV Crew WWII" and "Loading up"
The 3 figures on the left site of the tank are from Verlinden aswel "Tankriders II" and "Trapped US Infantry WWII" (I replaced the head)
and the figuur on the right is from Warriors

I hope it helps
Martin

nice model i love the overall look but what is wih the texture of the tank it seems really weird

Very well done, Martin! She looks the part. Dave

Thanks,
The texture is maybe a little bit to rough. But I like it, so I let it on

Are you referring to the surface of the tank? If so, bear in mind that it is a one piece cast hull, and therefore would contain many casting flaws, leading to a roughened surface.
