Re: M47 Patton, 5th ID Germany, Patton Project Pt.2
Well, after sidelining this one in the mid summer due to life going on, I knuckled down on this one and wrapped it up over the past few day. Calling this done for now until I can whip up a proper base, a figure, and perhaps a few more additions.

Thank you Bruce. It can use a few more fine touches, but for now I’m happy to get this one to this point. I’ve never built one in this motor pool maintenance look before.

What a frickin' finish!! Can't get over all the prep work that goes into something like this. Really like the raised letter decals for the hull/ turret. Nice touch. 
Re: M47 Patton, 5th ID Germany, Patton Project Pt.2
That is a right, proper tank thingy. Man, that looks good. I do have a question, though. You usually "dirty" them up a bit...
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

That is a sweet looking build. Very clean!

Cool. First time I've seen white sidewalls on a tank! Make sure it leaves the motor pool with a case of Westley's Bleche White.

And I was getting nagged for not weathering my tank enough?

Many thanks to you one and all!
All your fault… 
Joe, there sure was a lot that went into this one. Especially that engine due to seeing all of your engines on here.mustang1989 wrote:What a frickin' finish!! Can't get over all the prep work that goes into something like this. Really like the raised letter decals for the hull/ turret. Nice touch.
All your fault… Yes, I usually do make them in more of a field muddy look for the past several years. But I figured since this one was gonna be all opened up like in the motor pool, it needed to be clean like those are. But after looking at these photos, I need to do a little something more with the tracks.LyleW wrote:That is a right, proper tank thingy. Man, that looks good. I do have a question, though.

Well, I switched it up this time. In the field, tanks are always dirty. But when they’re in the motor pool for maintenance like this one, they do get cleaned up. Either way works.Ceaser_Sa1ad wrote:And I was getting nagged for not weathering my tank enough?
