Last post I talked about the great Rubicon Firefly kitand how it came with an extra hull and turret. This got me to thinking could I get another tank out of this? My wife used to be a professional cake decorator and still had a couple of unused silicon mold kits left which she kindly donated to my crazy idea. I managed to make a decent mold of both track sections and chassis, but when it came to casting I made a right mess ad I foolishly used plaster of paris which is not the best material to get out of flexible silicon molds.
So back to the drawing board, and something a bit more sturdy, milliput!
Unfortunately I didn't have enough to build the whole chassis so I had to be creative and after casting only the front and rear I had to build the rest of the chassis from scratch.
Its not the prettiest model but should be passable once painted and weathered.

Nice work Ste, two Shermans for the price of one, plus the price of enough craft supplies to buy a second Sherman ;)
