M32A1B3 assisting M46 "Fooeeyy!!!...That's gonna cost ya!!"

This dio have been on hold for some time now , so now that I have finished the Korean war Centurion I might as well continue in the same era and get this finished.

The building of the vehicles have been blogged elsewhere just follow the links:

Great looking work there Jack!!

[bullardino]

Interesting build, I love shermans

[jackh.]

Thanks guys, good to have you along.

[Mence]

Aaaaah yes, I recall the M46, lovely stuff. Look forward to seeing more of this Jack...

[jackh.]

Glad you remember it Mence ;D, it's good to have you along mate.

[jackh.]

Well I have had some problems in finding the right figure setup for this but I think I'm getting there, so before I start on the painting figures and adding stowage to the vehicles I thought why not get a second opinion . So lads what do you say???









Driver on M46 will of course end up with head up only

Jack...It's so obvious a TON of work has gone into this dio!!!! To me(Ex REME),it looks like the ARV crew are negotiating the price(In Herfies,or whatever they had out there ),so,to my eyes the figs look right!!Now just get to painting them,and stop slacking,eh? ...BTW,good to see ya posting this here,mate..


Edit.....Even got a working title..."Fooeeyy!!!...That's gonna cost ya!!"

[Leon]

Jack,looks perfect .Excellent work on the dio.

[TRM]

Nice stuff there Jack!! Love the story line....very convincing!!

[jackh.]

CB - Thanks glad you approve, it's definitely good to get thumbs up from one like my self who have been in a similar situation at some point . The working title have been adopted absolutely brilliant mate.

Leon/TRM -Thanks lads glad you like it.

[jackh.]

Well I have started painting, this is what they look after some skin tones been added. I normally prime skin parts with Humbrol flesh and then build up the skin tones with oil.



I have also added RBM barrel parts for the M46 kit .50.





As always ACW.

[jackh.]

Thanks for popping in jackwagon, glad you like it. I thought what breakdancer then after looking again I can see what you mean, funny how looks change when not in a turret :-)

[Leon]

Nice start on figures jack.The .50 cal. looks sweet.

[jackh.]

Thanks Leon.

[Mence]

Wow Jack, looking good, keenly awaiting an update.

[paulh.]

sweet job Mr H!

[jackh.]

Thanks lads, Update on figures near .

[jackh.]

Well the announced update is here

Crew's started to get some colour on so I thought the best way to show the progress was to place them on the dio:D













I have also tried to do a covered .50 cal on the M32

So what do you think at this stage lads?

[jackh.]

Cheers mate, that will certainly do me coming from a talented modeler like you.

[bullardino]

Really nice, that's it

Great job

[jackh.]

Thanks Luigi, glad you like it.

[jackh.]

Update time.

Have at last got some bench time which have resulted in more figure painting. So they are nearly finished:
