In this three-part series I take a look at how you can build a unique model, an M4A1 large hatch Sherman ex-DD, or Duplex Drive, swimming tank. I kit bashed two Sherman kits back in 2012 and released this a premium download on the website. Now, I have uploaded it as a 3-part series for free on the channel.

Included in the video is reference archive of the real vehicle...

I can't believe this is over 12 years ago - time flies.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it and remember, you don't always need to spend a fortune, sometimes an old kit and some ingenuity will do just fine to make that project you've had whirling around in your noggin.

Here are the chapters:
05:01 Improving the hull
06:30 Cast surface textures using Mr. Surfacer
09:46 Making the suspension (AFV Club)
10:42 Scratchbuilding parts
12:27 Superdetailing propeller mounts and fabrication
