I will be posting Bryan Dewberry's (Tin_Can) article on his recent M48 Patton in a few moments. For Bryan's 3rd armor vehicle he is certainly climbing the ladder of experience quick. And with his surgery and all that's a good trick!

M48 Article

You can discuss Bryan's work and leave feedback for him here.

Good job Tin!

Looking at TIN's Model and article, a saying comes to mind. Of course it needs to be changed to accomidate the hobby: "This is Your Brains on Drugs," change it to "THIS IS YOUR MODELS ON ARMORAMA!!!!!"
Great job TIN!!!!!!!!

THIS IS YOUR MODELS ON ARMORAMA!!!


Heh- no kidding! Great model there! I never woulda thought of using kleenex for bedrolls or stuffing the area where the turret joins the hull.

Howdy Tin,

Just read through your article on your M48 Patton Tank build-up. I must say, a well written piece on a very well built kit Tin! I especially like the 'tissue' issue....hey, I like the way that ryhmes :-) Made me think about other tissue-like materials you might use to simulate different types of fabric. Hmmm, or how about using an actual cheap white hanky cloth. I wonder how that might work? Or, a small patch of thin calf skin leather.
Just a thought.

Tread.

As Im building an A2 version of this kit. I must concur with every thing said.
It also gave me the idea about curing the manlet problem.
A great build a great artcile.

Very nice model. This is also a good model to ding up if you depict it in Vietnam, bang up the fenders a bit and tear up the front headlight guards with a bunch of red/brown mud and it looks great and mount the cal .50 on the pindle outside the turret.
