hi mates [:D] here’s some pic. of oddballs sherman from the movie : kellys heros for a small dio that’s in the making . as usual comments are greatly appreciated http://gallery89512.fotopic.net/c256768.html there’s going to be 5 figs. on board also : oddball, the dude with the red fez , kelly behind the .50mm , moriarty,and the driver. the bottom of the roadwheels are not in contact with the track becuase they need to bee adjusted to drive over a small drywall [;)] hope you like them + some shots from the movie itself.
maffen it looks incredible. very nicely done.

hey joe , just wondering can you get on the leaguesite (have been trying all day and always time out [:(])
Superb weathering Maffen. Did you scratchbuild all the extras such as the loud speaker? Looking forward to the dio and figures.
Awesome Maffen!! Looks fantastic!
Cheers
Mo
hi Eric , all is scratchbuild : speaker,bucket,milkcan,lantern,coffeepot are from alu and coppersheet
Maffen,
I haven’t been able to get in since yesterday either…something’s up with the host I think. Maybe they are in Florida?
Nice work Maffen, How did you do the bedrolls?
Not to be nit picky but the lanter needs to be weathered, LOL!
Very nice build though I hope that with a little more practise and knowledge I will be able to build like that [:)]
heheheh Sorry to be such a stickler on the lantern but it needs to have that carbon build up in the corners of the red “window” panes [:-,]
thanks Rusty [;)] was thinking along that way when was looking at it, maybe some coppergreenwash on it ? don’t know yet, will see [:p] thanks for your observation, realy appreciated it .
I kinda figured you were [:)] I seen all the other detail you did and I wasn’t trying to critique you or something [:I].
By the way how did you build the rolls on the back behind the turret, they are to big to be bedrolls, so I am assuming tents? They are cool… [8D]
no,no rusty no problem love some comments [;)] the tentrolls are as usual : first roll some tissuepaper in your rolls ,bend it with string and let it soak in 50-50 water/white(wood)gleu when they are dry , paint them and for the straps: for every tie made from string i put a strap over it (just to hide the string) so one have 2 and the other 3 straps. strape were made from 0.5mm(thickness) plastic strip rapped around and cut at one end in a point. then where the buggle comes,just a small piece of the same plastick in a square and on top a small piece bend in a U-shape.thats all really [:D]
Hey maffen your going to kill me for saying this but isn’t the loud speaker on the right side of the turret?
Great build though!
hi willian, i know what you mean mate [:D] there’s a flaw in the movie;when kelly together with oddball come to the camp where the 3 shermans are, they go to one where morriarty is working on the engine,on that one as oddball explains (loud music,speaker bla,bla,bla)you see the speaker on the right side (i guess it’s for filming purposes only) in the rest of the movie you will not see that one again [xx(] only were oddball in on top and there it’s on the left [:D] also if you make a shermie from the movie you can make one with exended fenders or not (even on oddball’s sherman in one scene you see it with and the other take without ext.fenders) as there are so many more mistakes(hey it’s a funny movie [:D])
Nice work, Maffen! The colors are perfect!
That’s the fun of trying to build a movie vehicle: trying to keep up with the inconsistencies!
Great work Maffen. Like that a lot.
Keep well.
Craig
aww crap! you beat me to it, maffen! Good job. Guess I’m a victim of “those negative waves”!
Great work there, Maffen! I can relate to your project:
I built this in 1/35 several years ago and had a whale of a time!
It is one good replica of Oddball’s Sherman. But unless you put an Oddball figure in there I won’t tell you that it looks superb and great. LOL.
Just kidding my friend…great job as usual.
HA HA … Thats great! Good job dolling it up like the movie. The PA speaker looks great!
