As the winter American army draws closer, it's time to get some vehicles ready for them as well!
Just in time for the relief of Bastonge is the trusty Sherman... I look forward to "winterizing" this. :-)
I had never gotten Trenchworx vehicles before, but I knew that I was in for a real treat. Sure enough, all kinds of amazing things were waiting inside the box...
Instructions! Yes, not something you see very often with resin and metal kits. Very handy though :-) Even at the rough stage of yanking them out of the bubble wrap, the parts all looked and felt fantastic.
The resin had a wonderful smooth, uniform finish, as opposed to the alternating glossy/rough like you all too often run across.
The pieces already went together, with no slicing, filing or other machinations!
And yes, each turret comes with a rare earth magnet set! The holes are already set for you... all you have to do is glue them in. That saves a whole lot of time, pain and potential suffering! Love it!
The assembled vehicle. I have since added some stowage, so that it has more places for the snow to accumulate. The drive wheels and treads were super clean and distortion free, which is yet another amazing attribute. Normally the treads get a bit whacky and out of shape.
Not here!
I look forward to working on many more Trenchworx vehicles, since the kits are soooooo easy to deal with. Every detail is sharp and crisp, down to the smallest tool, hatch or vent. Painting these will be a joy, because they will practically paint themselves.
I have a link to the site here. They are continuously adding new kits, so I keep coming back to see what wonderful new tank will be coming out:
