I hadn't played with my little Sherman in far to long so I took him out for a spin in the dirt. This is the re-re from back in 00 or so, has dmd unit but not other options. Oh and thanks to my cousin moondoggie for his top notch pics and dirt yard to play in ;)
LOL Thanks guys. Thankfully the dent is molded into the hull and the mud is pure weathering with chalks/ oil paint and foam model train grass, I may have gotten carried away when applying it though. Rest assured this tank is actually very carefully used, but I wanted it to look the part. I may have to build me another tank also. I Always liked the Pershing or maybe the new Panther I just wish they didn't cost as much as my real cars
Ahh mate! The part it certainly looks! Excellent! Mmm... I have heard that the new Panther is suffering from ovaling in it's final drive, maybe it was a enslaved factory worker who sabotaged it at Tamiya, just like at the real Panther factory in WW2! Keep it up me old mate! Ooh rah!
A true masterpiece! Real ones still on display at numerous places in the Belgian Ardennes. Maybe I just have to invest in a photo tour for reference! For our German friends: there are also Panzer V Panther & Tiger II tanks on display in and around Houffalize! Impressive ugly beasts of that devilish thing called 'war'.
nice bucket of rust ,lol. there are some companies out there that make some scale antenas that are pretty cool and all sorts of brass and metal replacement parts.
Yeah I still have it Chris sitting on my mantle I think 2007 might have been the last time I ran it though other than a quick run in the living room last Christmas just to prove to a friend it wasn't a static model
