Bubba:

(shakes head) dammit, they dinna come up when I looked. Mebbe it screen'd 'em out for some reason, though I dinna use any excludes.

Thanks for the link though. Was mine of any help to you?

White wolf you may already have the info but Forgebear or pugwash04 on the bay carry the tamtoy boxes
pugwash04 is good and i know he ships international if he hasnt got them ask and he will get you some

i also have his E-mail addy if you prefer outside the bay (do all my buying from him that way)


Kind regards rob

here is the latest on the 3 piece trans for the sexton
the hardest part is putting on the texture for casting

here is the 99% complete tell me what you think

fv432
so do you think this gear box will bring out the old syle look of the sherman hull I just ordered another hull from Nick and will be building another 3piece gearbox to go with it

Looks really good in my opinion. nice functionality of the gear drive
Perry

Oh yes looking real good bubba think you've captured it well and it's not the gearboxes[8D][8D]

well its done the gear box and trans cover now looks like an early sherman lower hull now I have figured out a way to do the early suspesion and have it working Ihave made the front sprockets and the rear idlers and test fitted the sprockets on the new gear box and they line up exactly where I need them here are a couple of shots

final detail complete the bolts in the housing sections

Very, very nice.

Gary

Thanks Nick for the Idea on numbers for the trans cover I just finished appling casting numbers

Rob do you have a pic showing the tamtoys in your t-34? thinking of that conversion for my t-34s. ok to pm nstead of hijacking this thread.

PM away KClank save bubbas thread

how many of you tankers out there can ID this turret what model and what chassis
I am building one of my own to add to my collection

no one with any ideas

How about a twin 40mm "Duster"... ???

(BTW, I really like your Sexton -I've always liked the 25 pounder myself. A fine old Gent named Angus McDonald, who used to be my one of my "neighbours" in this block, served in a Sexton with the Canadian Army during WWII. He said of the Sexton, "It wouldn't knock out a German Tank, but if we fired that gun of ours enough times, it would drive the crew crazy and they'd take their Tank and Bugger Off! " )

latest pis of the sexton

that looks really good bubbajoexx. Is that the finnished paint or just the preshading. i havent really tried much preshading on my models but I am going to start. Any pointers out there you guys?

thats the pre finish ther are 3 more colours to be added

use a good base colour close to the new finish you will find on a new tank the shade in some lighter colours close to the original base coulor as the flate surfaces fade faster than the edges then using a buff colur flaten out the suraces to blend in the fade adding in some sand and brown to simulat dirt biuld up

well my spare gear boxes came in today to mid 2 speed gear boxes Tamiya and 2 late modle metal gearboxes

now I can start using up the rest of mysherman parts
just have a few more parts to come in and I can complete some of the builds

that sexton is looking real sweet

have you had the tamtoys gearboxes going yet if so what are your thoughts on them

i found mine needed some subtle blueprinting to make them better (Quieter)



Kind regards Rob
