It almost looks like a tiger! Amazing the level of additional armour that crews rigged up as improvisation.
Fantastic detail and shading/highlighting at that scale π
Lovely job Joe! Love all the sandbags as additional armour!
This model was inspired by reading about the DSO awarded action of Maj John Powell of this Canadian unit at Keppeln in the Hochwald on 26feb 1945. Link below if anyone is interested about reading further. #wargaming

#festivetankchallenge A day late on completion but finally finished my Sherman after being away for a few days. Modelled as a Firefly of C-Sqn 6th Armoured Regiment (1st Hussars) of 2nd Canadian Armoured Brigade. Thanks as always to @tomjmegan.bsky.social for the motivation. #wargaming #scalemodels

Basecoat on today. Added some cut-up gauze bandage dipped in pva around the front chassis and on the turret and gun barrel to model hessian camo net and foliage.

I picked up a great hardback edition of Mark Zuehlkeβs Ortona book at Warfare 2025 show in November. Looking forward to reading more about this battle in 2026
Thatβs solid progress Rachel. Looks good π just go at your own pace and enjoy the build. Look forward to seeing your tank completed
Superb π
Back to work today so not as much progress on #festivetankchallenge but still got overall assembly and extra stowage added as per @tomjmegan.bsky.social although Iβve skipped the extra armour and going hatches open. Hopefully painting tomorrow #wargaming #scalemodels
According to the noise outside my window at 6am this morning mine was today π
Watching Heroes of Telemark (again!).
No matter how many times you see it that scene with Kirk Douglas on the ferry rounding up all the kids near the lifeboat before the bomb goes off is just so tense!
@joewargamer.bsky.social its going together very quickly and with no issues. It comes with a great decal sheet of unit markings but absolutely no guidance on what decals relate to what units/theatres π€· Iβll probably just do a simple Normandy unit
#festivetankchallenge underway with work started on the 1/56 rubicon Firefly VC. Always good fun participating in this each year π
