My Prize Easy Eight.
Built exclusively for iModeler because you gave it to me, as award for December's monthly model. I was never really interested in the late war "Easy Eight" until of course, I saw "Fury". Then I was turned on to the wide track, and big muzzle-braked gun on this beast, and started on it straight away upon receiving it. It's another shake n' bake Tamiya, no Tribble at all. I just roughed up the armor castings, left off two spare track links and made loose mounts, and added track link armor, Box and ammo can stowage, and a tarp. Still need a suitable tow cable though. Model Master enamels and Tamiya muds were splashed around. The figure I think has a neat action pose and looks just a bit like Brad Pitt. Got to flat coat his jacket a bit.
Now to that new Tamiya SU-76. I like shakin' and bakin'

Excellent...the build, the pics and the prize - congrats (again) all around, Bill.
A mean looking beast, beautiful.
Great build!
Nice stowage, Bill. Easy Eights are great!
Boy, you hit that one outta the park!
Good job, Bill, nice to see a prize built so quickly.
Nice build there Bill, very convincing!
Thanks for the positive waves dudes.
Superb as always. You need to do a mud splatter how-to on YouTube.
I
love
that tuft-of-grass-mud-polished-steel-shining-through magic you did with the chains.
YAY! somebody noticed! Thank you VERY much Halvar. 🙂
Another awesome build by Bill Koppos Productions!
Very impressive piece of armour Bill! The weathering is awesome, especially on the tracks and wheels.
