I have been busy
A consigner sent me 3 x 251's painted in the Normandy paint scheme and wanted the 13 painted out and I took it a step further I created a commander's vehicle and wanted to make a patrol of vehicles.
These were the same 21st scheme so I added to the paint to make all 3 look different and not the same look.
I also enhanced the front wheels to articulate as well as added sag to the tracks.
In the first pic I am starting the process of removing the 13.
The middle 251 I have already started adding to the camo scheme.

Hey Guys,
Here is a standard 21st Century Sherman with my dozer blade and a few add ons.
I went all out with parts from Battleground Toys line
Visor cages
Tow cable
Jerry cans
Duck bills ( his are easy to use, much easier than mine ! )
I am real happy the way this turned out !

and adding Pats Battleground parts just takes it over the top. Great job !!!

Excellent Matthew, your Stug IV came out great and then the camo...outstanding!
Your Tiger I is fantastic, switching the bottom halfs of the Bravo and 21st tanks is much easier than one would think. After seeing the work it took for jnewboy to do, I thought there has to be a better way,
switch the bottom halfs.
Your version of one of the last Tigers in Berlin looks great and the added details just make it better!

Thanks my brother.
The tiger was fun to do.
The camo dots are a little challenging but worth doing.

Matthew those are the ordinal Tiger I tracks from 21st arn't they? Did you tie them down with thread ?
The tracks do look great, the way they sit on the road wheel...just right!
I know Pat at battleground models was planning on making 3D printed Tiger I tracks in the future.

Hey John,
Those are actually the Bravo Team tracks that i used brass wire to tie down.
Here is the Witman Tiger that I split the main drive cog stretched it and installed it as it should be.
Then wired that as well.
I also drilled the track pins stuck wire into them and added small pieces of tubing to extend the ends.
