Patrick great detail and some fantastic weathering.

Hi all,
Here's my finished Pershing. It's the Tamiya kit which is pretty nice for anyone thinking about getting it. It goes together well & the detail is very good. The suspension is workable which sounds nice but in practice I found it to be fragile, resulting in most of the roadwheels breaking off at some point!
I added some extra detail on the exposed hatches, using leftover PE & periscopes from a Dragon Jagdtiger. The kit comes with the crew figures in the turret & I added the driver & bow gunner from some spares. The riders are from Dragon's 'US Tank Riders' kit.
I'm pretty happy with it, it's been done off & on, which means some things didn't go so well. The figures, while not perfect, are better than my usual standard so there's a bonus!

Thanks Vaughan!Originally Posted by Vaughan
Thanks Ole! I've only been building seriously since 2009 ( I can't count making matchbox 1/76 kits as a kid! ) so I'm still learningThis can be a frustrating hobby at times but when it's good.... it's all good!

If it wasn't for Thomas Edison, we would all be watching T.V. in the dark!
excellent job mate
I like so much the paint of the figures and the bags!! Looks great! There is one soldier with a bandage in his hand, it's yours or come with the figure? because is a really nice 'touch'.
Best regards

Thanks guys for your kind word's, and Polux, the bandage came from me accidentally getting a blob of paint on the guys hand so rather than re-paint it, I covered it up!
Like you, I think it works, so it was a lucky accident!
Cheers
Patrick
Excellent work mate the figures are awesome great detail, any tips on painting figures and not the obvious use a fine brush : ) really love this your work is top notch.
