Hi!! I´m new here! I bought with one friend two starter boxes from TANKS! and we´ve split the two forces between us.

I´ve taken the americans (4 shermans. I glued two of them as 75 mm shermans, and the two left as 76 mm shermans) and my friend grab the germans (he glued it as 2 jadgpanthers).

I´ve painted the Shermans, and I´ve created the "Fury" Wardaddy´s tank.

Hope you like it!! I´ll take better images from these tanks this week (better zoom and quality)

Hi there.

Very cool indeed. Are the sandbags hand made on your fury? Im planning on sandbagging my fireflys when I paint them. Any advice on this would be appreciated.

Thanks for the replies, guys!!

Kelvin, I´ve made the sandbags using a mix of greenstuff + milliput clay. You can make the same using only greenstuff, for example.

For create the sandbags, I look at several tutorials, like these:





In short: I make a greenstuff/clay cylinder. I flatten the cylinder with a flat surface (a ruler) and cut rectangular section-shapes of the cylinder. Then, I put it carefully on top of the tank and make a slightly line on the sides of the sandbags, pressing with a sharp tool (like a cutter).

You can see the early results of my sandbags (before paint) here:

That's great advice thanks. I got a load of greenstuff knocking about somewhere so Im good to go by sounds of it. If you interested in another approach, I went for log armour on my version of fury, all that was is lengths of sprue rounded out and textured with a knife.

I absolutely love this tank. This model is very easy to assemble and very fun to paint. I was surprised by the size of this tank, bigger than Shermans. It´s my favorite model of the whole collection of american tanks for this game.

Next update: The Stuart, a small metallic wonder!! :)

Looks great! I'm in the middle of applying washes to mine.

I seem to have found the same decals as you have ;-)

Very nice perishing there mate. Your army is similar to mine in composition. I've added a Jackson and a priest to exactly what you have painted. My starts are part of my early war us force.

Would love to see your Stuarts when done, your force is looking nice.

Thank you folks!!

@BloodEyes: Hahaha, really?! I bought the decals in a store here that has been open in Madrid since I was a kid. I didn´t found the decals in any place, and finally I was lucky and found it there.
It´s a very complete and useful kit of decals.

@Kelvin: Thank you! I don´t like too much the Priest, but I like a lot the Jackson. The american M10 and Jackson are far better tanks than the Lend-Lease Soviet M10 (poor Soviets... :_( ).
The american Jackson seems a very interesting tank and maybe I´ll buy in a future. For the moment, I´m going to focus my attention and efforts on the little Stuart.

I´ve found a bit difficult to find here in Madrid the lastest expansions of this game (Desert Tanks), and therefore thats why I had to buy the Stuart by ebay.

I´ll update this post as soon as I finish painting the latest tanks.

Greetings!

Cool. I got them just to give me options other than straight up tanks.

I really want a hellcat, problem is it will replace Jackson when it happens.

I bought mine from an eBay store from user mehusla (UK based); he has a great selection in all scales!

Anyway, the US decals look a lot like the ones you used ;-)
