Just in case anyone hasn't had their hands on a Mato Sherman here's a top down view showing the open hatches.

[MrChef]

Bob you are doing a great job with this fun build.

[SoCalBobS]

The band is back together.

[Jarlath]

Nice job.

[SoCalBobS]

The whole gang. Different angles.

Presumably? You will now be building a Tiger 1, on a T34 chassis?

I vote for this idea!

It'd be fun, but no, I don't want to eviscerate two good tanks for the project. Interesting camo, though. Maybe someday.

I say use a regular Grey Tiger and re create the paint and turret number. Add enough tree branches and no one would be the wiser. Oh, Splash some Pink paint on the back of the Turret. be that guy.

A post on FB appeared in my feed. Someone has crafted a 3DP figure of "Otto-Karl" from Kelly's Heroes. He says he will be making four more figures, presumably including "Oddball" and "Kelly". He doesn't sell the STL files, I've left a message asking if he sells the figures.

Who made these figures, and where did you get all the Detail Bits for the Oddball tank?

The accessories are on Cult3D: KELLY'S HEROES SHERMAN ACCESSORIES ODDBALL HENG LONG 1:16
The figures are made by someone on Facebook: search "Charlie Brown". Common name but he is the one in Spain with figures photos on his page.
The decals were made for me by "https://company-b-models-and-miniatures.myshopify.com/"

Thanks Bob. I appreciate this. I sent an email to Co.B and downloaded the 3D file for the accessories. Now, Which Charlie brown in Spain am I looking for? There seems to be a lot of them.

He produces many 3D figures, and has photos of them on his page. Wish I could give you more, but he’s a hobbyist not a business so I gotta respect his privacy.

Gotcha. I found another guy there who "may" make resin figures. I'll see how this goes. Now, I pose a question to you At the end of the movie, Oddball and crew drive off in a Tiger. Now, The war's still going, sooo, That Tiger would to have a face lift. How would you imagine it looking i n American colors, with Oddball's ,um, sense of style?

[SoCalBobS]

Well, the colors of the “Tiger” in the movie had non-standard colors, German grey with probably Russian green camo. And there is the pink paint splatter on the turret back. I guess some white stars would fit right in.

I was thinking a full OD green repaint with white stars. Then add all the accoutrements. That would be a " Mother Beautiful" tank.

They're makin' a "Deal" deal.

[SoCalBobS]

I did a quick google search for American Tiger tanks. There's a few King Tigers with white stars. I'm sure if you dig you can find others. So, there is precedent. Go for it!

I watched the film again last night. I had forgotten that bit. “It makes pretty colours”.

[Chris curran]

Ok. My HL Sherman's here. The figures are on their way , I have the open spoke wheels coming, as well as the long barrel, and a model club friend made me all the accessories. It's gonna be a "Mother beautiful tank Sweetheart"!
