"Sheridan",Vietnam Dio

[The Smythe Meister]

Dunno if you guys all check out the "Latest Acquisitions" ......
...... but if you do,you may`ve noticed that i bought one of these......

Wanted one for a while,but too expensive in the past,I`ve decided to add this onto the same Dio as my Sheridan,
I have figures already and some on the way!!..... With my Buddist figure,(Remember him Steve?!!:blow-kiss-2,on a scratch built base,i have quite the scenario planned!!
Here`s the 113 currently....... Primered and up to stage 6 build wise completed...... The "Tub".......

Came in one piece,(Apart from the wheel`s assemblies obviously:smiling5:.......

For such an old Tamiya,it does have some quite nice details.... the destructions even suggest a mod you can make with some plasticard and bits of "Extras" provided for an up gunned version!:thumb2:,It does come with "A Full Interior",not sure about that....... but it should build up to be very respectable!!

White was suggested for the interior colour,but i`ll check that out.
No matter what,with what i have in mind,i`m hoping to produce something of interest!!..... We`ll see though!!
Cheers Chaps,
As always,all comments more than welcomed,and thanks for even just looking in!:thumb2:

Early 113s used gasoline powered small block Chevy V8s which proved thirsty & subject to overreving by motorheads who disabled governors. In 1964 V6 diesels were introduced & much later replaced w/MB V8s.

O yes Andy, I certainly do remember! My diorama is coming on leaps and bounds but I'm frustrated by having to wait for some aftermarket extras such as M16s and M79s etc. My Bravo 6 figures work well with the Tamiya crew I think - vegetation is still my bugbear though! May have to pay Richard to produce some of his superb work! Have just spent a week undertaking building work at my wife's school but the blessed weekend, wine and bench has just arrived - oorah!

The M113 is coming on nicely Andy. Interested to see what you make of it…..
Mark‘s command blockhouse on tracks is looking pretty good as well…….

........ and a couple of progress pics coming up.Showing the interior,which will eventually be ALL white,(Apart from the underside of hatches).A lot of nice decals are provided which i will be adding,although as i only intend to have one hatch opened and the tailgate dropped hardly anything will be viewable:angry:........


front and upper plates........you can see i still have some clean up to do that i`ve missed up till now..........


and my favourite bit........ A GUN !!! :thumb2: :money-face:..........

Shallow?..... Me??.........How very dare you!!:tears-of-joy::tears-of-joy::tears-of-joy:
