Sherman 18
Master at Arms
This was caused by me spending way too much time by myself and my thoughts. :laugh:
I'm going to put the project(s) up separate and then bring them together as I move along on this or something else blocks the vision of grandeur.
There has been a project in my head since July, this a small part of that. Found the Master Box figure kit US Paratrooper and wagon set really cheap. I was only looking for the wagon. The wagon did not totally match an American farm wagon for the early 1900's, I figured I would have to redo the sides. Guess what. Europe has different design to wagons. I want a grain/freight wagon as was use on farms here in high plains in the 1930's. I can basically use the wheels and axles. Just glad I'm not scratching wheels.
This is about what I have in mind
Kit
The suspension is way off. American wagons have springs on the seat and European have springs on the suspicion. I probably could have gotten away with the stock kit, but I would have known the difference.
I spent about an hour cleaning parts before I took note of the difference :frantic
So pulled out the styrene strip and started the changes
