Re: Logistics, The armor Update August 5, 2012
Got some base coats on the three Shermans. I'll let them harden for a couple of months and then begin weathering. I still have several softskins to weather and a railroad gun to finish building and paint,
The first of the Shermans is an M4A3E8. All of the Shermans in the diorama will be CCB, (Combat Command "B") of the 4th Armored Division and had the modifications, added armor and armament,
This one is an M4A1 76mm. It also has the modifications.
And this kit Dragon's Thunderbolt Seven came with the modifications.
More later, Bob

That is dedication! After a few months, I would forget I even had them! I am following this as it gives me hope that one day I will pull something down from the shelf with the excuse that I was letting the model cure and harden!
Thanks Bob,

Re: Logistics, The armor Update August 5, 2012
Thanks Saul,
Not so much dedication, necessity! Doing it that way developed over many years out of necessity. Some paint their models, then give them a coat of clear varnish. At one point I realized that wasn't necessary for me because I put so many vehicles in a diorama I can do it this way and still have plenty to do while they are hardening. After two months, models are a dream to weather because there is no possibility of removing the base coat with the rectified turpentine.

Thanks,
I wish there was more, but other projects, such as building birthday presents for my daughter put this one on hold every year, Of course, that will always take priority!

That's alright Bob, we need to take care of our little girls. My 11 year old daughter wants to go deer hunting so bad. I guess I'm going to have to take her hunting!

Just a quick update to move these five blogs in closer proximity to each other. Some shots in and around the diorama as it is today.
The 2cm Flak Panzer. When completed, it will most likely set here, but surrounded with blackened cobblestones from the fire, lots of charred parts and ashes. That will bring it to life. (Or death?) The Diamond T wrecker will be attaching to it to tow it away and clear the street. The grader will be further up the strait with the dozer and dump truck, clearing massive amounts of rubble.
This is the main street in the rio. A column of seven Shermans will be passing a grinning General Patton saluting his subordinate, Colonel Creighton Abrams in his "Thunderbolt 7".
