From AlexK: U.S Armour (20 points)

This post is an addition to my World War II "Chain of Command" U.S platoon, its a 28mm scale Sherman M4 from Rubicon. The kit is nicely detailed and took paint well, not so much my poly-cement, but with the correct level of swearing and cursing she finally went together. I may well pick up another kit at Vapnartak this weekend, nice easy challenge points as they are.







Points wise I think it's a nice round 20.

Fom DaveD. Well you cant' beat a bit of Detroits finest.

  1. Swearing and cursing are as essential to any hobby undertaking as paint and primer.

    Great work Alex - all the elements came together well, this is a very nice looking piece of kit. Well done.

    1. Yes, I agree, swearing is absolutely integral to the hobby.

      Great work Alex! Let's see another. :)

  2. Hi Alex, just being pedantic but it's an M4 - not an M4A1. The A1 has a rounded hull rather than the square edges of the plain old M4...

    1. Cheers Alex - My grandfather drove a plain M4, so I can recognise them!

  3. Very fine work! I still need to get me one of those for my American force. As regards to your glue issue I'd recommend using a cement especially for ABS plastics.

    1. That may be it, the plastic had a slightly different feel from the Warlord and Perry's stuff that I've done. Cheers
