Fantastic work.  I continue to love how you use leftover and disused parts to make your builds.  Really brilliant stuff.

Thanks for the kind words, folks.

Now for something completely different (well...not really)....

A tale of two tanks.

I’ve made tanks before (the Last Crusade tank I made 3 times!), but wanted to give some WWII tanks a shot.   

The first one I made was a Sherman tank (the later, more angular version that was modified to be a Firefly among other things).  I managed to frig up the side profle (the sloping back half should start further up the tank).  Anyway, here it is...

I wanted to make a Sherman commander, and do so with as little paint application as possible.  This guy was pieced together from Indiana Jones and Star Wars figures, with a Captain America helmet repainted.   







 

Now onto the Bad Guys...

Panzer III is the tank that my kid chose as the other side’s tank.  This is an earlier German tank, and is most associated with the initial Blitzkrieg push into Western and Eastern Europe.  This went together a LOT faster than the Sherman, and I’m much happier with the end result.
