Sherman 18
Master at Arms
I sat at my bench a couple weeks ago with the intent to work some of the stuff I started for group builds but was not feeling it. So I then was going to start cleaning up the hobby and while moving items around and putting things away I got the bright idea to dig this out :idonno
One of my long running projects an AEF Designs conversion for Academy M51 to a SLA M50 APC. I thought i had posted it at one time here but on a search just could not find it so I'm going to start this over. If I have an open thread oops The album has been on here for ever that I do know.
Started this many years ago and as I remember it was to be a "quick fun" weekend type build :laugh: but since I just can't leave stuff alone the project grew.
this is place where the project was boxed from the move from Denver to Northwest Kansas basic conversion of an upper hull and some basic interior parts
from that point I decided to try scratch building some new engine exhaust and intake covers. I also tried some PE welds from On The Mark Models for the armor structure build up along with a scratch build machine gun mount.
from there I thought I would try scratching better engine air filters
at this time I added bolts to the fighting compartment from the suspension mounts and cover over the radio
that is where I started having problems with the PE wlds coming back off and some A+B putty welds coming off. I rewashed the hull in 409 and thinner. Still having problems in the same spots. I put the project up before I took a hammer to it
