Tamiya 1/35 M-10 Tank Destroyer

[Dave Johnson]

I hit a bump with the Meng King Tiger and wasn't happy with the Camo that I sprayed.. So while I am waiting for an top up on paint so I can repaint it I though I would stick it a side and work on something else. With having limited bench time that I was getting prior to my back operation as I was unable to sit comfortably for more than 20 minutes at time I time, started gluing bits together of the Tamiya M-10 when I could. It pretty much fell together! So this is where I got up to prior to surgery. Stowage was only Bluetak'ed in place... Excuse the Camrea phone pix's!









Then changed it up to this -



And a couple of Alpine Crew figures -

And this is where I am from last night picking out all the different colours for the stowage -

Looks good Dave, who supplied the stowage?

Hi Adam,

Stowage is a mixture of the Black Dog M-10 for the academy kit, Blast Models Stowage for the M3 Stuart. Jerry cans and MP40 are from the Tamiya equipment sets.

Not to quick as I not ready to head back to work just yet

I haven't done much the last couple of days... But did pop down the road to get a Cake Dummy for my base.

My plan is to wrap some plastic card around it, but I haven't decided if I should allow an lip/step up from the highest point of the card to the ground work of the base. Or to have the card hard up against the edge... But I am leaning towards hard up as I want to cut an section away...







So this is my rough knock up/plan...

The M10 towards the back of the base on a dusty French road with the Two Crew standing in front. I am thinking of adding a third inside leaning against the turret. But I need to find a suitable figure.. In front, the base is cut away with a small ditch with a creek running through it. Thinking of adding some discarded German Jerry Cans/shells and bloody bandage.

Great work on that M10, Dave. I'll have to get one.

[Dave Johnson]

Slow plodding along with the M10... Still need to add a little bit more weathering and its all most done! Nice to actually finish something once again!

[Philipp Gross]

Absolutely fantastic M10 Dave!

How about we turn this into a gallery feature on the main page?
