Modeller Build Logs
El Alamein Sherman III DV with full interior |
| By Hans Haase | | Started: | Oct 2, 2005 | | Updated: | Mar 23, 2006 |

I had been planning a Sherman III for quite a while, and buying bits and pieces over time for the build. Most of my inspiration came from a photo on British Pathe of a tank named Bacchus, with an unusually placed and unusually large name on the rear plate.
When I saw James Wechsler do his excellent Sherman III over the past few weeks, I was pushed over the edge to do my own. Thankfully, Chesapeake Models Designs made an appearance at the recent AMPS East with the hull I was looking for.
I have a feeling this will be a long and arduous process, just from the sheer count of resin sets I need to coordinate, but I really can't wait to get into it.

And thus, a very satisfying build comes to a close. Bacchus has now been placed permanently onto its base and joined by its finished crew. For more pictures, check my website at www.siegecraft.us I have a bunch of larger and more detailed pictures up there for you to see and enjoy.
Thanks for all the kind comments and suggestions as things progressed, now time to start preparing the next one. |
