Great job Ross!!

I've always wanted to build one of these myself - ever since my Dad first took me to see the movie at the cinema when I was about 8 years old (seen it countless times since).

Looking forward to seeing Oddball in the turret - but no Turk in the driver's hatch??

Very nice and big inspiration.

Ross,
Your sherman looks very similar to Oddballs tank. Great model from great film:) Cheers, Marcin

looks really good. Now lets go get the Gold bars ok
Oh and no paint shells in the gun.

Hi Everyone, thanks for your great comments, I'll add some photos soon when Oddballs done and bit of dusting just to finish it off. thanks for looking.

Cheers Ross

Brings a smile to my face I have always loved that movie.

Let me add my 'that looks good.' Now we need a Tiger I from the movie with its rear splattered with bright pink paint.

Any way to do a Clint Eastwood figure standing on the back deck next to Oddball.

Thanks Duane, Thats a great idea, I've got the Clint Eastwood figure that goes with Oddball,
Yeah I can see him now on the rear engine deck behind oddball looking towards the Pink Tiger, Thanks mate.
Cheers Ross

Ross, I know you will provide photos when you get it done. Good luck and I know it will be fun.

Too bad they took on Tigers; a pink paint round on a Panther tank = pink Panther

Wow! Really nice work on a legendary tank. Who wouldn't love this one. Of course now I have all the great lines from the movie running through my head and so now I'll have to sit down and watch it again. The wife will be thrilled. And yes, you now HAVE to build the tiger with the paint blasted on the rear. No way out of this one.

G'day Ross !

I've just watched the movie and remembered your build and wanted to see if you have any updates. I have the Formations conversion in my stash, your build has inspired me to start sometime in the next few months - hopefully

The one thing that struck me today, was the color of Oddball's tanks in the Movie. Yugoslav Army M4A3E4's were painted a lighter shade of Olive drab (almost a Russian Armor Green).

James Wechsler has a great build at TL in the Gallery there.

I think the color he has come up with is spot on.

Any news on the Jaguar figures yet ?

Cheers

Paul

Dude,
Can't go wrong with all these positive vibes. Lots of good feelings here fellas.


Nice build.

very nice build i've always liked kelly's heroes and oddball was imho the best character its a sherman we can all dig man "have a little faith baby, have a little faith." "woof woof. ...that's my other dog impression."

Very nice build! The weathering on the wheels and tracks is very realistic.

Lars

I already picked up the figures on sale,but whew.......that formations oddball conversion is just a little steep for my likeing @ $100.00,but maybe someday,what is the best sherman kit to start with,the Tamiya M4a3 i'm thinking ???

Yep Tamiya M4A3 is the one to use.

Cheers

Paul

G'Day Paul, As of yet no new updates, sorry, sidetracked onto the next project, you how it is Your right about the colour, I lightnened my Olive Drab and hope to lighten it up a bit more with weathering & pigments when I get back too it. Soon hopefully.
