Good afternoon all and Happy Easter.

The mount for the 50cal is now finished.



With the mount built, the ammo box and tray are now constructed and installed. Also the barrel carrying handle has been added, using a piece of 30guage wrapping wire.











The pedestal is now installed onto the turret deck and the gun placed into position.







This completes the tank section of this build.
Now the fun begins. Lets see what I can do with these figures.

Thank you for following.
Questions and comments welcome.

Good evening all.
I've been working on the figures for this tank for the past week.
They have taken a lot longer than I was expecting. Finished the last one yesterday.





With the figures done and installed, it was time to work on a base for this model. Just a simple dio. nothing to elaborate.







Added some details to the scenery and mounted the tank.

I'm calling this build done.



















I want to thank all who followed along on this journey.
For myself it was a lot of fun as well as a lot of memories.

Questions and comments welcome.

On to the next build.

That's three 30 cals and a 50 ?!
Those UPS guys will deliver those packages no problem ! ;D

I wasn't expecting the whole crew , Jim .... or the base


What engines were in the Shermans your father was attached to ?

 

[Papermodder]

Hi Uru. I thought it told a better story with them.
Our's all had GMC diesels.
