Dragon Wagon + Sherman de GPM 1:25

[chapuzas100]

Hi all!

For different problems I have long unassembled models but I'm back with you with this and another model from scratch that I have done.

But let's talk about these GPM



In my opinion the Dragon Wagon is an older model and has some flaws in the design of the parts and in its numbering (later I will put some pictures) but you just have to watch and so far so good. The last thing I like are the wheels so that I will make new.

The LCM is something else, is a modern, textured with some very good and some very clear assembly diagrams ... I have not seriously begun assembling the LCM but it looks very good.

The idea of ​​combining these two models rather than the Sherman comes from these photographs





My opinion is that it is more attractive in this way

Un saludo.

WOW This will make a great diorama!
I look forward to seeing it all come together especially since I'm in the middle of building a Dragon Wagon myself.

Thank you for your welcome.

KCStephens I am aware of these advances with the same model, I've started with the trailer for using images from your tractor reference. Your building is great.

So began my model.

Thanks for the complement, Chapuzas, I have to say your building does not look too shabby either.
Please know that I will also be using the pictures from your build of the trailer to assist me with mine when the time comes.

I have to say, the sub-assembly that I fear building the most is the rear winch. So far, I have not been able to locate a good step-by-step build thread of these parts to help me figure out how it all goes together. Hopefully working together we'll be able to help each other figure this monster out. Please be patient with me as I'm not the worlds fastest builder, but know that I am committed to finishing what I have started.

Good Luck and I look forward to seeing more of your progress.

Continuing with the model.

I want to build respecting the original design by adding only detail kit parts (laser frames) Writing kit detail what brings are pieces to improve the model.







Even all wheel precut pieces to glue and paint only,



but at this point I have been blocked, do not like the way they've thought the wheels and make them myself, this is the test



this is the first attempt since the color is not good, the centarl is very thick and there is an outdated piece



and this is the finished part



here you have all three together for you can compare



I only ride 18 more

Nice work on the tyres.
