Coming along nicely, can't wait to see it with a Sherman on it.

Speaking of which, does somebody have a Sherman they would sell me on the cheap? Obviously damaged would be fine.

and at the beginning you said it would be under scale.

WOW...THIS IS GREAT!!!! I have seen this at my local toy store during the last holydays but after closer look I belived there was no to much potential for it because of it's simplicity in detail and scale apperance......I was WAY WRONG!!!!!!!

Your rework and detailing have made this a great piece and quite impresive, I like it a LOT, superb job!!

I got the detail work and the base coat done on the trailer. Next is glossy coat and decals followed by weathering.

This looks impresive and superb...and is not even finished!!!!! With all the gear and weathering this is going to be an amazing model and display.

What would you be putting in the trailer, American or German(war booty) armor?

Can't wait to see it finished!!!

Can't wait to see it all done up

Thanks guys, a board member was kind enough to provide me with a wrecked BBI Sherman, so I will have a nice vehicle for transport.

Throw that Sherman on there so we can get a idea what it will look like

I will when I receive it, there is a picture on the first page of the post showing my FOV Sherman on it.

Quick and dirty low quality pic in the midst of the decal process.

Looking good YT

The wagon is done, I wish my photography skills were half as good as my modeling skills. Everything looks so washed out. I am fairly pleased with the end result. I wish I would have taken the time and money to add the correct number and configuration of wheels on the tractor and trailer.

Kilroy was here.

Removable tie downs for the tank.

A little black & white action.

I forgot to add a thank you to board member Cent-One for supplying me with the Sherman. Thanks Again!

Well done.

S**t that's good! Only thing I don't like is the "clunky" looking chains (maybe substitute for chain used by ship modellers?). Would love to have that in my collection

It looks fantastic !!

Great job

That's a good idea Jay.

Top notch work YT.

I love this. I'd been wanting to pick one of these up to do some similar work, but I lack the space. Awesome custom!
