    James, very good looking Sherman! The paint and weathering came out very well. If I may comment though, the periscopes all look to be closed. How will the driver see where he is going :smiley24: .

    Cheers,

    Mark

     

    never thought of it! :smiley9: lol noob mistake, but I will remember for in the future :smiley20:

  2. hey guys, heres my latest tank.

     

    I dont build to much Armour stuff but I find it fun once in a while.

     

    this is cyber-hobby "orange box" kit. 1/35 scale, I make it out of box with only some homemade details.

    I have the painting all done, just have to make stowage for it.

    a little correction, someone pointed out I had the pick axe handle metal instead of wood!

    all fixed now. also added a bit more rust on the metal tools.

  3. Nice wood grain on the dash! Did you decal it (like the real car :smiley2:)), or did you paint the simulated wood decal panels? :smiley22:

     

    GIL :smiley16:

     

     

    I just painted it brown. the model kit has "wood grain" molded in the plastic

     

    sorry some of the pics aren't working, to many views on other sites used all the bandwidth, they should come back up on the 30th

  4. pretty much done. I want to add exhaust tips but didn't have tubing the right size so I will add those on later. also I want to find better side mirrors than what the kit comes with

  5. Hi, James,

     

    The interior looks excellent. I particularly like the dashboard and your painted instruments. You also did a beautiful paint job on the Goodyear L60 Polyglass white raised letters. I have a time-frame question or two about this build. This is a 1970 Super Bee with a 1971 license plate. If you are showing this as a one year old car, would the paint on the motor show so much wear in just one year? Is the Playboy cover a period-correct issue from 1971 or earlier? Isn't the money on the console with the offset presidential portrait definitely a modern-day bill instead of the old money designs of the early 1970's? Will your seats get lap belts only? OK, that's four questions. Keep up with the outstanding progress.

    I had that stuff printed out so i just used it. I can also put a new year tag in the corner of the plate.

    I don't think there's a lot of wear on the motor paint, just a few paint chips on the valve covers, and some overall dirt. drive on country roads for a year and the motor will get nice and dirty lol. I like depicting redneck country boy type cars.

     

    as for belts since they normally ended up laying on the floor I don't bother putting any on. did people even wear them back in the 70's? lol

  6. Very Nice...

     

    Question on the kit: Did AMT miss the roof flaps?

     

    Looking at your sixth photo, there seems to be no roof flaps detail.

     

    Great job!

     

    Kevin

     

    there is roof flaps, the white from the #3 is making them disappear in the pics lol my light is like right next to the roof
