Which I also happen to be working on.

Extremely well done Steve! This will be a sight to behold once complete and behind the HST.

My grandfather was driving a truck back to his unit when a battery of these opened up, needless to say his pants were a little more khaki and he put the truck in the drainage ditch he said it was the most breathtaking noise!

Nice Steve. I really like the way you did the brake lines. They look just right.

I haven't had much chance to get some bench time, but I did manage to squeeze in a few hours today.

I've done some weathering to the M4, using MIG and Dr Bens pigments for some built up mud. I gave the lower section a raw umber wash for some wet mud. Then I oversprayed the entire tractor with some heavily thinned Dark Earth for a dusty look.






Moving on to the Long Tom, I'm done with painting and an overall dark umber wash. I've added a bit of stowage to the trail arms. I'm working off a picture of an M4 towing a Long Tom over a pontoon bridge. THe tractor had minimal stowage on it as the crew appears to have put most of their gear on the gun carriage.




I'm going to add a tarp for the muzzle and breech. Then add some more stowage, weather and hitch it up to the tractor.

Thanks for looking.

Looking good, Steve

The M4 is super, looks like your best work to date

The Long Tom hitched should be a stunning scenario

Very nice one

Your going to need a big base for that one Steve. Looking good.

Fantastic finish on the tractor It's going to be impressive with them paired up.

Chris

Same with me - can't wait to see both of them together!
