USMC Sherman at Tarawa...

[Jeeves]

Well-- this is a conglomerate of a lot of stuff...the Hobby Boss 1/48 Sherman with Black Dog USMC accessories....plowing through some ocean sand next to the Masterpiece Models Japanese Pillbox. Still a lot more detail and weathering to add to the two items on the base, but I was just getting an idea of how it looks together.

Au natural...


And after an attempt to give the beach a bit more color...


Would like to add some figures but there isn;t much for Pacific figures in quarter scale so I may have to scratch some....

Sweet looking dio, Jeeves. I think you're right, definitely needs some figures to complete the scene.
Good luck on the conversions. Tamiya 1/48 figures with a lil changing would look like Marines.
Keep up the good work. Bill.

Thanks Bill...still have more work to do on the base as well as that gap can attest

Looking sweet, it'll look great with some figures!

 

[Quaralane]

Looks pretty good thus far

 

[Jeeves]

Thanks guys...going to try and weed through the figures in the spares to see who'll fit...

Love the Sherman. I think the figs could really tell a story here. Looks off to a great start!

 

[Jeeves]

Thanks Glenn and stellarb...

Found a few US Infantry figures from the Tamiya set that might work out after a little modification...and a Japanese officer from the Eduard set might be a good sub for a pillbox victim...
