15mm Sherman & Cromwell ARVs

Made some progress at home, have now a fully functioning airbrush station in the house, so no more extended periods with the spiders in the shed. This should enable more effective use of available time, so some of the backlogs should reduce, anyway.....

Today, two more S&S Model conversion sets, Sherman and Cromwell armoured recovery vehicles (ARV). These are extremely usefull add-ons for the PSC plastics. These have been built "vanilla" as supplied, no extra bells and whistles from me this time.

As always, full set of pictures up on my flickr.

M4A2 update #3

On the vinegar strokes now........

- engine deck finished

- rear plate finished 

- weld seams updated

Am waiting on a 75mm turret to match up but that's the hull done, will be off to warlord for consideration.

And finally my non-plussed cat.....

M4A2 hull - work in progress #2

Bit more completed on this one. 

- rear exhaust assembly

- direct vision assemblies

- started rear engine deck

- final drive assembly recreated

- attempted weld lines.... Jury is out at moment.

As always comments welcome

Update.....

Am now happier with the weld rendition, should paint up lovely, added the following this evening;

- front tow points

- lifting points all round

- rear plate rivets and track tensioner

PSC Shermans - Little Beauties

Following on from my earlier post, here is the final results of the PSC Sherman up detailing.

I am disappointed with my pictures as they don't show the details that well, all have light protectors and extra detailing on the stowage, oh well..... Figures are a mix of Peter Pig and Skytrex ( before the 50% price hike!) and hybrids of the both. The recovery is Skytrex with mods.

and a reminder of their humble beginnings

  

As always more pictures on my flickr:

PSC updetailed 76mm Shermans - WiP

Just had some down time so had a play with some lovely 15mm Plastic Soldier Company 76 Shermans and a Skytrex M32 ARV. Not sure the photos show it but there is quite a lot of details added.

Crews are mainly Peter Pig with some head swaps and an odd skytrex chappy slipping in. Comments welcome, might add some armour panels on the side?

Not sure whether these will ned up for Normandy or later, although I have another plan for a bulge set.....

I dont collect Amercans ( yet) so these will be up fro grabs when complete.
