Hey guys,
I think I started to post some pics of this build in a thread I started latet in the fall. However, I'm having some work done in my basement and the modeling area is a bit of a mess, so I got sidetracked on it. I've been plugging away at things when I could but have not had a chance to put up any pics. So, here are a few in progress and completed pics of my Sherman Mk. V Tulip. It is the DML kit (in 1/72 of course - kit# 7312). I put it on a base that I picked up at the last AMPSEast and added some resin figs that I picked up (from a company in the UK that I now forget the name of... *sorry to all my friends from the Crown Realms!!!
*
So a few in progress pics to start. As I think I mentioned when I first posted this, I found the rails for the rockets to be a bit of a PITA and ended up replacing the support arms with PE bits that I cut and bent...
Now a couple of the base in progress:
The figs (I'm no great shakes at figure painting, especially in 1/72nd, so don't get your hopes up...):
And now, the finished product. Pics that I have seen of the Tulip in action with the Coldstream Guards did not seem to have heavy weathering so I went pretty easy on this one:
Sorry this is a little pic heavy. Hope you enjoy. Let me know what ya see. I'm always open for suggestions.
And now, I am off to the aircraft forum... I've got an SU-39 to work on!! See ya!!
