Hello everyone,
I'm starting my next project because my previous work needs some time to dry before I can finish it...
I will build this Sherman M4A1 (Italeri N° 225)
With on top of the Sherman some Paratroopers riding along (Master Box N° 35164)
I recognized the Master Box boxart from the 'Band of Brothers' series, but it took me some time going through the disks to find the right episode, it's inspired on episode 4 'replacements'. The woman has been humiliated by the locals (hair shaved off) as a punishment for spending time with the Germans...
I made an animated Gif from the scene to refresh your memory if necessary;
I will make a small dio/vignette with the tank.
Just started working on the hull...
And that's all for now...
kind regards
Steven

Nice work Anthony
They indeed look very good, looks like the posed figures fit well on the hull, I'm a little concerned about the curved A1 hull but I assume some putty on the figure-joints will do the job.
Kind regards
