Hello from Dudley.

Post by Dave2014 »

Good evening one and all.

It's been quite some time since I've done any - what I would call serious modelling. In fact it's been nearly 15 years and I've now come to the conclusion it's time to start sniffing plastic again and as a result started to dip my toe in a few months ago with an Italeri M32 Sherman recovery vehicle.

Some progress but bear in mind the following :

1) I don't get a great deal of time and don't have the luxury of a dedicated work area.
2) I am on a very tight budget using any household items that may be useful.
3) I am most definately a novice!

As you can see the very basic interior and rear panel and exhausts are complete and the tank has now been buttoned up though still has a number of external items to be fitted prior to continuing with paint.

I'm hoping to continue this build shortly and I'll post up a dedicated thread for it.

Take care all and speak to some of you soon maybe.

Regards Dave
