Don’t be, dive right in and lets see some progress pics along the way.
I should have said eager instead of anxious.
I think it should be something in OD though… sounds like your M10 is getting outnumbered real quick by bad guys… shoot and scoot!
Haha! Well, I do have Tamiya’s M4A3E2 Jumbo Sherman that needs to be built. And I’ve got a Pershing somewhere, too.
Take no notice, there’s nothing wrong with plenty of 3 colour camo. have you got anything in mind for a Dio for the Sturmtiger.
Some Marine Corps Shermans on Iwo Jima wore three color camo… 
Well Bish, the extra details I added were from different kits. I did a maintenance setup with a couple extra figures on the back of the vehicle with the engine access hatch open and tools and other items scattered around as if the vehicle has rolled into a service depot or something of that nature. I thought it would be cool to add an overhead crane like they would have used to pull the engine. I seem to remember seeing a picture of one in a book somewhere. I didn’t really get the idea from a book or anything. I actually found the extra details in kits from a hobby shop that used to be here where I live. I think the first thing I found was a Maybach engine kit. I thought it would be cool to add an engine to it. After that I just started finding the other details and kind of formed a scene in my head as to how it could look when finished. I was just playing around and having fun with it. At the time I was more concerned with building something that looked realistic and might be believable rather than going for historic accuracy. I’ll upload some pictures eventually.
Quick tip for photography…tracing paper. Yup, use tracing paper as a “filter”. It is what I use on my work lights when I want to take photos. The tracing paper kills the sharpness of the light so that you still get the brightness, but without the glare. The sheets may be too small as is for your needs, but use some clear tape to join together enough to make a sort of umbrella. If you angle the setup just right you should get exactly what you are looking for…good light without the glare.

Thanks for the tip, Brian. I’ll try that.
just like Hollywood does
Hollywood has to be useful for something, right Stik? [:D]

What a great build!!! Being in the military now 21 years and coming from the infantry and now being a mechanic I know how Soldiers are. They usually don’t take very good care of equipment. The e-tool is thrown on top after using to go to the bathroom and the supplies on the back are being held on anyway possible. I think you did a fine job with what you had to work with. That’s what a Soldier would do. Once again a very nice build.
They sure have that lighting thing down…
Thanks, Jsmyth. I like my military models to resemble something that has seen some action.
