I'm not doing too great at keeping the momentum up with either the blogging or the painting this year!
Toady's little bit of work has been spurred on by a little text from YD - "You'll need to get your Shermans done and a couple more typhoons, thats me done 3 Tigers."
So it seems like there's some sort of arms race going on!
Anyway, tonight I made a determined effort to get some work done on these many unpainted figures. Specifically the Sherman I Hybrids I've been working on. There are a few bits that are a bit rough, but I am having to just accept this. So, here's the pictures from tonight:
 |
| First coat of Russian Uniform Green (Vallejo 70.924) - standard Sherman I on the far right. |
 |
| Standard Sherman 1 on the right, my Hybrid conversion on the left. |
 |
| Note the rough hull on the Hybrid on the left - something I did a bit of work on later. |
 |
| The three Hybrid Sherman conversions |
So that's it for now. In other news, a trip to
Worlds at War over in Livingston at the weekend saw me pick up a couple of
Churchill Crocodiles, some
Wasp Universal Carriers and another
Daimler A/C. Had I known I was entering into a arms race with YD, I might have considered some
M10C's!
He sent pics of some PzIII support for his tigers to!
ReplyDeletenice work on the Shermans! I have no time either.
ReplyDeleteThanks Paul, getting there. Still a lot to do but trying to get back into the painting thing. Thankfully my 17pdrs were done a while back!
ReplyDeleteLike them lots Jamie. Wouldn't think they were conversion work if you hadn't have said.
