M-51 Isherman

Here are my build starting images.

Jack.

Shalom.

Good luck with your build.

It'll be interesting to see how this goes together compared to my Academy version. I'll be watching this build closely.

Cheers

Hiya Captain Jack:

That is going to be one really kewl M-51 to watch come together. How long until you will be able to start gluing plastic?

Lower hull is assembled!!

Jack

More lower hull work with some base paint applied.

Hi Jack:

A good looking base to start with. Now comes all those wheels . Is it going to be a green one, or are you going to put another color on top of the green?

Gary

Thanks Gary! I start with a dark color and start shading up from there.









Along with shading I do oil washes and dry brushing.

J

Wow! Lower hull looks great already. Anxious to see more!

Shalom.

I should join in with me Academy M-51. This would almost be a sub-group build of M-51 tanks then.

I'm watching these M-51 builds with a lot of interest.

Cheers

This is great! We almost have a tank platoon.

Jack

Wheels are pretty much done for now. I've been adding some details to the upper hull such as grab handles, lock hasps, gas cap chains and locks.
