A Few Very Different Builds - Higgins LCVP, LCM Mk.III & Sherman

A slightly different format for this blog entry, I've decided to group several builds together - as they were quite simple builds.

 

Higgins LCVP

 

The Higgins is quite a new tooling and went together very quickly - however progress was slowed somewhat due to the large amount of Loco/Rolling Stock Commissions I have..

It took just over a month to get back to work on her, painting didn't take too long - even with the camouflage scheme..

LCM Mk.III & Sherman

 

Both kits in the box are quite old toolings, however once all the flashing is clean up they went together very well - though some filling was required.

 

I started off with the Sherman - a Tank kit is a first for me.

 

Lots of little sub-assemblies for the wheels, it went together quickly the only issue was welding the tracks together!

The LCM needed quite a lot of fettling, but went together quite quickly and the paint scheme was straight forward.

With both the LCM & Sherman painted it was time to add the transfers
