Hi all,
Just thought I'd show my latest project. She's nowhere near accurate but I like the way she looks

Great job on the weathering!

Field dirt looks good...is that a lend-lease muzzle brake?

fynsdad

LOL the muzzle break has been "lent" by a Jagdpanther, (it's the only one I could find in my spares box) I may change it a later date.

Great job on the paintwork! I need a Sherman with a girl on the side...

fynsdad

Just for you yellowshaker

YHR

I thought that tank was one of mine. I had to do a double take.

See the resembelance




I got a drawer full of pinup girl decals. My Wife and Daughters consider a few of them in poor taste, and that they should not appear on any of my tanks.

Very Nice work my Friend!!

Nice subtle weathering. Very impressive. Almost makes me want a Sherman.

Thanks brother!!!! Now I have to ask how the heck you guys add those pin up girls? At least give me a link to a source or something...I want to join that Sherman club!

YHR

In my case I made my own decals. Looks like Frank did some fine painting

fynsdad

I think there's a couple of ways of doing pin-ups. As YHR says, I've painted mine, make your own, (beyond my computer abilities[X(]) or may-be you could get hold of some aircraft decals, I think 1/48th scale ones would be about right.

Google "1/48 Pyn Up decals", there's a ton of options you could choose from. Although I recommend picking decals from a bomber, because pin up decals from a 1/48 fighter is way too small.

Those Fly boys had time to paint some pretty unique nose art.

I have always been fascinated with nose art. On my model railroad I incorporated nose art on the diesel locomotives. I thought it made a probable crossover. Returning vets going to work for the railroad was the story for my creative licence.




Sorry Frank for Hijacking the thread. This nose art stuff is cool, and I seem to be going off on a tangent here.

fynsdad

No problem, I think Nose art is cool too.
I think we may have started a fashion here! I'm in the habit of "naming" all my tanks but now I'm toying with doing a pin-up on all my allied armour
Frank.
Love the locos by the way, I'm all for putting a personal touch to models even if it's not strictly accurate.

YHR

I had some pretty racy stuff on one of the Fireflies I did, but with daughters in the house I decided I better take them off.

You did a great job on painting that. It takes a pretty steady hand.

fynsdad

I may have to re-name my recovery pershing before I paint a pin-up on her, or it might get too x-rated! LOL
Frank

YHR

Maybe just leave it with the text. A picture might go too far!!!!!!!

Nice tank by the way.

Oracus

Where do I get one of those? I spent alot of time on a M88 and loved doing recovery work.

BiggTony

Fynsdad, your tanks are always top notch and always a pleasure viewing!

fynsdad

Cheers Tony
She's a build I did which is loosely based on a T12 prototype. Basically a pershing hull with a scratch built turret/jib

Here's one for you Tony,
A mate has built a transporter for his leopard, but I had to see what mine looked like on it
Frank

olfart

Nice transporter. I'm toying with the idea of scratchbuilding one myself.

BiggTony

Oh my,very neat! That is something I have yet to dive into. Once I get my tanks completed, no collection would be complete withouttransportationvehicles and this is one to model after! Looks like the Leo would be a perfect fit, where your Super Pershing sits.

fynsdad

it certainly is
