FWD Type B

[Sherman 18]

ICM 1/35 scale FWD Type B truck.

As I seem to a star at starting something then moving on before finishing, lets start another!
This ICM kit is really well done. I started it and the assembly was going smooth with the only detail I have been adding was some casting texture and wood grain. Since the engine is nice I wanted to show it off some how. I found some Microdesign photo etch out of Russia. So I set it a side until it arrived.

I started with the engine and added casting texture to the block with liquid cement.

As the liquid cement dried on the engine I assembled the transmission/transfer case. After assembly I added casting texture with thinned 3M putty. Cause you know you have to detail the bottom.

Then on to the front and rear axles, again casting texture with thinned 3M putty

Misc other parts assembled

Some shots of the Microdesign PE

I added wood grain texture with 80 grit sand paper glued to a pop bottle stick

That's all for now, I've got to get back to my AMS issues

Worked on the bed some more along with the storage boxes that mount under the bed.
For the wood texture I used a combination of a razor saw blade, dull # eleven knife blade and course sand paper

Really dig how you get the wood grain Jeff.
