The model is looking good, but I’m not sure why you mention vegetation in that net. Unless you mean it as bits of trees and shrubs that got ripped off when the tank moved through them, of course The purpose of the netting was to catch RPG-2 projectiles, not for camouflage.

Thanks Jakko,much appreciated,
You`re dead right,i`m just going to put in a few bits that have got entangled in it.

Hi Andy
Tracks look good. Sounds as if they weren't too much of an issue. I like the figures. How do the Tamiya figures compare for size with the Bravo 6 ones? I know that sometimes mixing figures from different manufacturers can present problems of size.

Agree Jim. I've had some that make others look so small.

Carry on Mr Smith, apologises.

Andy,
The tracks look good and I think the mesh looks great and as you say with some veg stuck in it, it will look suitably damaged.

Building up nicely Andy. Looking forward to the next instalment!

Hi Jim,and thank you Sir,
Well,you`ve opened up a well honed debate there,one of which we all have our own opinions about,that`s for sure!
Sometimes they`re SO out of kilter that they won`t do,other times you can get away with it just by thinking,"Well,some people are simply larger than others"!
You`ll see what i mean later in this update,
Andy

Certainly no need to apologise John..... it is a theme that i think needs to be mentioned..... within reason,PEOPLE ARE DIFFERENT SIZES!!!

Hey Tim,great to see you,i`m surprised that this is your type of thing!!
The next installment is on it`s way.....Much later than i mentioned,and quite brief,but i hope it`s acceptable!!

Mate, I read pretty much everything on here. My thing is good modelling, nothing more, nothing less LOL…..
As to people being different sizes, yes they are….trouble is, equipment, especially weapons, tends to be the same size no matter which individual is wielding it……

 

[The Smythe Meister]

Well Chaps,
As threatened promised earlier this evening,i DO have an update of this build......
Firstly,and to show Jim the difference,here`s a pic of the Tamiya Figures,inter mingled with my resin after market selection.I`m quite happy with the sizes,when you take into account their differing poses.....
Well,not just for Jim,but mainly!!
Obviously they`re in different poses,but i reckon they`ll work together ,.... the shapes make them look wrong,but,in this case,i think they`re Doable!!
Andy.... Next up,the Sherridan itself........

 

[The Smythe Meister]

...... And here`s the War Machine Itself!!........

 

[Tim Marlow]

…er…where?

 

[Tim Marlow]

….and that guy in the middle is more than a little rude rapping his fist on that blokes head …..

 

[The Smythe Meister]

...... And here`s the War Machine Itself!!........

Well
I would`ve replied,and posted up my progress!!.....
My pictures disappeared,and my text!!
However..... it went horribly wrong,and couldn`t post up,or mention ANYTHING at all!!

 

[Tim Marlow]

I like Inspector Montalbano on air guitar though….
