New updates for: M4A1 Sherman - March 24, 2023

Hello everyone. It's me Antony, back with another Blog here to start 2023.

I recently learned the town hall is calling more approved candidates from the selective process exam for the attendant vacancy to work at the public health center. At least this is good news as my former employers informed me they will resume the calling. As far I remember, the other candidates in front of me in the classification are from other cities and some may be employed - which will speed up the calling to reach me. Until then, let's wait.

I'm not sure I'll continue my studies for the civil service exam scheduled on May of 7th of this year. I haven't paid my subscription and in case I want to perform it, I have the deadline to April 6th before it expires and my subscription cancelled. And I'm still waiting to be called to work as a teacher by the Government's selective process I assigned for a while. Both are great in case I'd receive some payment for my services and skills.

Putting my personal news aside, let's go to the important thing here in this Blog. For today, For today, I'm going to bring new images of the M4A1 Sherman.








Alright. What we got is: the Sherman received a rework on the lower section of the hull / chassis and rear wheel. The front wheel has been made along the support for the lights and some holding bars, the top plate to cover the tracks, the gun mantlet base, the rings on the chassis and the antenna. The Browning M1919 MGs were appended from my original project for the American machine gun.

After these renders, I decided to append the tracks from the M3A1 Half-track - with some minor adjustments according to the original caterpillar tracks for the M4 medium tank.









Amazing. Aside from the tracks, I made some front lights, the commander cupola hatches and the shaft for the rear wheel.

And now, some decals and minor changes on the main hull.






Alright. The M4's main hull received a new adjustment to fit with the original design. While I was working on it, I adjusted the vertices around the driver's hatches to extrude it instead of making separate objects into one. Another components to receive a small adjustment or to be made are the top plate, the drivers hatches with the periscope visors, the rear lights and the rear section of the lower hull. So far this Sherman tank is looking good.

The United States Army markings were made on Gimp since I enjoy making my own decals. I know some people like to download the images from the Internet and add to their projects, but I have little idea I can find any image on PNG or PSD (Photoshop) format. You can also find it in GIF or SVD (Singular value decomposition) format - especially the blueprints you find of aircraft on the Wikipedia. There were made mostly on Inkscape.

After making the decals for the American Shermans, I decided to include the Brazilian Expeditionary Force (Força Expedicionária Brasileira or FEB) and the Saunders University High School (from Girls Und Panzer series) markings. The Saunders were downloaded from the GuP main Wikipedia.

Incredible, huh? The M4 Sherman in different nationalities. I may include the British, the Soviet, the French, the Italian and the German markings, as well the other variants like the Sherman Firefly, the M4, the M4A2, the M4A3E2 and M4A3E8, although the welded hull models would be made in separate files. Probably after the M4A1, I may reuse it for the M10 and M36 Tank Destroyers, the M7 Priest and the M3 Lee (despite I have to make the rivet-fixed plate hull).

Other components to add are the Browning .50 caliber machine gun mounted on the turret, the engine exhaustion outlet and fuel tanks, the engine access doors, some extra plates around the hull, the hatches on the turret, the tools and others.

Well, that's it for now my friends. I hope you enjoy this Blog. In case I have some spare time to enjoy, I'll be working on other things aside from Blender projects and my personal things. Until the time comes, you will be surprised to see them. See you next time.

Hello everyone. It's me Antony, back with another Blog during this quarantine phase while the World makes their best to find a (possible) cure for the COVID-19 pandemic. First of all, I would like to inform you that I returned to work at the public health center in the city where I live. Yup, I'm back on duty after a long time of waiting. In case you follow me on DeviantArt, you are aware the reason for my return. In case not, I'll leave the link to my recent journal there. Job and Lowering my personal works... again (Upd): https://www.deviantart.com/tonytoriusimages/journal/Job-and-Lowering-my-personal-works-again-Upd-875311216 I still can't believe it because they gave me a very tight working schedule even if it is to cover the absence of others at lunch, like - working at 05:00 to 07:00, then at 11:00 to 14:00 and 18:00 to 21:00? It's a pretty tiresome trip. Fortunately I have the weekends and holidays to rest, study and working in my projects. However, I have a ...

New Updates for: Macchi C.202 and Macchi C.205 (new project) - October 11, 2021

Hello everyone. It's me Antony, back with another Blog. We are now on October 11 - approaching the end of 2021; hoping for the things to get better as the World continues in this fight for survival and to develop a (possible) cure for the COVID-19 pandemic. For this month, my university semester is in course - in which my attention will have to be re-directed to the new tasks, in addition to my service at the public health center. Fortunately I concluded the tasks to reach level 30 in the new Nightwave chapter, which makes things easier for me now that I don't have to go for the prizes. Now for this Blog. I'm going to show you the new adjustments of the Italian Macchi C.202 Folgore. Let me show you what I did so far. The Folgore received a new Armature after I appended from the P-51 Mustang project - with some slight alterations in the rotation for the landing gear and canopy hatch bones; aside from adding more bones for the links. Now it's looking good. I struggled to ...

New updates for: Horten Ho 229 and F6F Hellcat (new project) - March 22, 2024

Hello everyone. It's me Antony, back with another Blog in 2024. I'm still working as a receptionist at the public health center where I live and my 7th semester is still ongoing. That means, my time for Blogs decreased to some occasions. The town hall is calling the candidates from the civil service exam. They called the first two approved candidates for the receptionist vacancy, with the first one accepting it. The nurse and the archive officer is still going, the fourth candidate for ambulance driver on duty accepted the vacancy while the three other candidates didn't take it as they are working for other town halls. I'm still I'm waiting to be called to work as a community health agent or as a receptionist. Unless the second candidate accept the vacancy, I'll have to wait a little more. There's a chance they might call me after they inaugurate the new public health center, dedicated for specialized doctors (pediatrics, cardiologist, ginecologist, physioth...
