Sherman 18's Nam builds so far

[Sherman 18]

I have to admit that I have not done a Vietnam model in sometime. I'm really getting up for the Charlie Don't Surf group build. Here is some I have done in the past. Maybe someone can get excited about the group build too.

I don't remember what this version is called. It is the Tamiya M113 and Verlinden conversion with scratch built shields.

Tamiya M48A3 with hand painted Shark Mouth (that is for you Shark Mouth)

Tamiya M41 with Edward PE

Tamiya M48A3

Minicraft M551 (the old one) with AEF upper hull, turret and commanders shields. Scratch built the rack.

Figure is from Verlinden

Tamiya M48A3, search light from DML. Added all kinds of nut/bolts to the fenders

Tamiya M113 with Verlinden turret

Tamiya M113 with Verlinden turret and AEF 106mm

M167, Tamiya M113 and Verlinden turret

Tamiya M48A3, scratch built storage boxes and other things.

I think I like the third one up, interesting streaking going on. Did I see you do a WIP on that one somewhere?

I don't know what time frame you have here but I think I can see a progression in your weathering skills.

Thanks Sherman! While I never join Group Builds (I learned that I never finish them on time), I do have the Sharkmouth M48A3 as a future project. I am just hoping a new Patton kit comes out.

This web site has so many of the photos I'll need as reference (in case you want to try another version with a mouth):

If I follow silently, I will either work on the PACV which I shelved or the Aussie Centurion. I may post photos under the incomplete build thread title. Who knows, perhaps I will finally clear out the garage/workshop and find the box with the new compressor I bought in 2008 but never opened! FYI, Michael's Craft Stores had a 50% off coupon at that time.

Regards,

Sweet collection, Shermie
I'm psyched for the group build, too. I can't stand to see my Academy ACAV with Fruil tracks and Legend's accessory kit just sitting there starring at me. The postman has already delivered 17 of the 18 Bravo-6 and Evolution figures and they're screaming "Build me!"
By the way, the new Evolution 'Nam figures are just as sharp as the Bravo-6 series. They blend together perfectly.
Peace and Love,
Randy
