Hi all,
well, Ive finally finished it, along with getting my car knicked and all the grief that goes with that, its done.
I still have to paint the periscopes, but as I have run out of gloss Hi-resilution green for now, they will have to wait.
I have to thank Roy Chow for all his help with this one, this particular sherman combination was rear, but it did exist
As usual all comments most welcome.









two different answers to the same question..
brothers in arms


all comments most welcome,
cheers ,
malc.

Malcom, outstanding job! I love the wear on the cast hull texture, you've captured it perfectly. Is that the Verlinden Aunt Jemima conversion? If so, I'd give you a gold just for getting it together!

Thats a great piece of work there , any chance of more pics of the flail tank as well.
The figures look great too , an important inclusion in my view . Well done.

Great work! The only detail that caught my eye is the left elbow of the crewman on the left. It looks kinda strange with no support underneath.

Turned out great Malcolm, so did the flail.

Malcolm,
Nice work! I like your weathering very much.

also- I would stay away from tinted periscopes for WW2 armor - they were just glass. I usually go with a smoked color instead of the green/blue.

hey,
That is outstanding Malcolm!! Who's M4A1 did you use for this?a few weeks ago ,I picked up the Verlinden T1E3 mineroller and wasn't sure ,what to put behind it,Roy suggested DML's M4A1 or Tamiya's M4,but my understanding is that if I use Tamiya's M4,I'll need to straighten the rear plate,for the push bar? Could the M4 composite hull be used on this mineroller?
