I'm blaming this on you "Treadhead's"

Modeling Subjects Armor
1

I was content to do my ship’s, star trek and the odd aircraft. [:D] The only armor kit I’ve ever tried was a dismal failure. [:(] Well I just bought a Tamiya 1/35 M4 Sherman (early production) kit on e-bay. [:0] I’m going to take the plunge and try again. If I screw this one up I’m blaming Robert (it IS a Sherman after all[:p][}:)][:0]).

I want to do a diorama. What would be appropiate for this model of M4. N/A Desert? S/P beachhead? or maybe a Europe winter scene (i.e the Bulge)? Just some ideas that wouldn’t be too involved.

you should join the sherman group build.

Yes! This is mainly an Army version so keep that in mind on the S/P beachhead. But the M4 was used in the Pacific by the Army. The Marines basically used the M4A2 version.

the kit makes a nice Normandy/ Italy sherman

Hey, Just do a scene, where the tank is half winterized-paint white, half summer-od, and put mud everywhere, -really simple, it is in the spring

Go ahead Tim … blame me … I can take it. LOL

As mentioned earleir, you may want to consider the Sherman Group Build that we’re having. It start’s on the 15th of January and runs for 2 months. Lots of time to get this build done.

Excellent choice of a “first” Sherman … I’d go Italy / Normandy myself with that kit.

Welcome to the darkside.

Robert’s right. MTO/ETO would be right. Welcome to the darkside.
