Got some more details added.

Ammo boxes painted and decals applied. I used medical gauze to simulate netting for the sides stowage.

Mud has been added.

All I have left is to apply the rest of the decals, a few washes and some protection.

Still waiting on Decals.......[]

However I did add some details such as the antenna, and a stowaway.

He won't ride during combat, and his box can be sealed up.

Thanks Joe,

It will look better once I get all the layers in and then blended. I'm trying a bunch of techniques, some great and some....well they look better when other folks do them. However that is how we learn what does well and what is left to others.

It is done!!


A few details to add as time and funds from the War Department get approved.

Flash and recoil work super as does the cannon sound. The upgraded speaker blew me away.

A big thank you to David Brown, for the tank. Dominique (OS Commerce) for parts, John from RC Tank World, Phil from RC tank Wars, Bill for advice and pictures and others who encouraged me.

Video coming very soon, and better pictures.

Saturday I with the help of Dash and Bill will be filming the Pershing. Hope David can make it look better than my crap cam.
