.....ready for some serious weathering....

Imex-Erik

Very nice! You going to add a ton of mud on it like the movie too?

fynsdad

I did think about caking it in mud, but she's also a battler so I don't want to interfere too much with the suspension for reliability...

ausf

Sweeeeeet!

Imex-Erik

Yea they sure caked it on in the movie. At some points I could barely see the bogies!

That looks absolutely awesome! I started my Ez8 years ago and am still figuring out how I want to do it, mainly because I had an older non option DMD. Now I think I know how to do it after just buying a built Tamiya. I know what parts I need just to build the upper half as far as option parts go and lots of ETO metal details on a new upper hull and all the rotation elevation parts after market from AAF.
While watching the movie I thought of detailing mine out and painting it Fury, but I figured a lot of other people will do that. So maybe I will do it as one of the other Ez8s that got popped in that last Tiger battle Besides, I cant compete with your model.

I thought the same, but then thought "what the hell, she's too good looking not to do one.."
I went the Budget route, HL hull, Mato turret and tamiya bogies. She's also fitted with a DBC so she's fully IR battle ready....

fynsdad

...made a start on the weathering...

That is really coming together nicely. I am going to do one of these next.

Amazon now has a release date of January 27 for the DVD and they are taking pre-orders. Just in case anyone is interested. jot

fynsdad

...about done....
Decided against putting "mud" on as she's going to be predominantly a battler so reliability is more important than looks....

ausf

She's a beauty!

RichJohnson

Damn that looks good!
where did you find that .30? Ive been looking for a few. Also crew memebers. I believe 120mm figures are close, but hard to find.

fynsdad

I got the .30 from welsh Dragon Models (I think) a few years ago, it's been kicking around my spares box till now. The figures scratchbuilt...

strippersteel

Beautifully done! Love it!

tundar

Very nice...especially with the logs on the sides! Good job!

robertalan51

awesome tank!!!! what did it start out as? can you tell me all you did to it?

fynsdad

She's a bit of a mongrel, HL upper/lower chassis, Tamiya HVSS bogies/track and a modified Mato turret with scratchbuilt barrel...here she is before paint....

fynsdad

...putting the finishing touches on "Fury"...she's now got a flashing LED installed in the co-ax, although toying with changing to a green bulb....(if you've seen the film you'll know why..... )

robertalan51

Very Very nice.........Don't think I'll be getting quite as involved with my tanks tho. Too many other hobbies too. Thanks, Rob

RichJohnson

I bought a second machine gun parts bag from aaf for the Sherman to go in my ez8 mantle.

don't use green ;-)
