A tribute to Audy Murphy, I like the sound of that! Are you building the scene where he worked the .50 Cal on a burning tank destroyer against a big number of German infantry at Holtzwihr? They say this was the act that earned him the MOH but there are so many other unbelievable stories about Audy Murphy... the highest decorated U.S. Soldier ever. I will definitely be watching this build!

seb H
hello , yes he did some great things during the war (and not only at holtzwihr) awesome guys

Spanjaard

Bob Hall
Awesome ! He's from my State and when I retired from the Army, I retired from the 3 ID. There is Murphy stuff everywhere on Fort Stewart. You going to watch "To Hell and Back" before you complete it?

seb H
Thanks mates 🙂 , awesome @bob, yes i'll try to watch his film

Helmut Fraundorfer
So seb when are we going to see some progress pictures? I really am anxious to see where you are at on this one. @Bob Hall have you been to the Audy Murphy Museum in Greenville, Texas yet?

seb H
hello helmut, no painting yet, but the build is 90% done (need to adjust the leds to simulate fire😉 )
hope to paint the interior and finish the build during this weekend😉

seb H
@bob hall : just ordered the dvd 🙂

Bob Hall
Awesome ! Going to have to watch that again myself !

@Helmut, No That's on the opposite side of the State from me, but the 3 ID museum has an entire wing devoted to just him, and the 3 ID has the highest amount of CMH recipients of any division in the U.S. Army, The citations of their actions will blow your mind !

Patrick Hagelstein
Only seeing this build just now and loving it! Isn't that the action the last part of 'Fury' is based on? I remember reading somewhere that people found that part of the movie exaggerated while it was nothing compared to what Audie did in real life.

Bob Hall
It's not a M-10, But it's the real Audie ! LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nathan Dempsey
Nice! I don't know how I missed this earlier.

coporado
Great progress seb, did you used LED bulb for the fire?

seb H
Thanks all, yes coporado its Led winth candle effect
Yes bob hall not thé good tank, but the good Guy 🙂

seb H
Thanks Patrick, yes it could be for fury😉

seb H
Almost done some varnish and more stuff and it will be over 🙂

Neuling
Sorry, I didn`t like the movie at all. Hollywood at its worst. But your tank looks superb!

Bob Hall
Movie is a bit robotic acting and inaccurate equipment, But in Audies defence, he had such bad PTSD that he never really wanted to relive that experience.

seb H
Agreed The film May not have been accurate or whatever no matter, audies bravery during the war was awesome, and he wasnt the only one, but next week-end it will be a pleasure do be à part of the commémoration to remember all this guys and their acts, and ill be proud to show this dio 75year Day to Day where the action took place (26 Jan 1945)

Urban Gardini
Perfect, I knew that it was Audie Murphy the instant I saw your last photo pop up in the feed even before I read the title. That do make it perfect and true to what happened when he fought of the Germans who couldn't see from where the fire came.

seb H
Thanks urban 🙂

Spanjaard
Excellent job seb!

seb H
Thnaks to all of you, you will see in this project a new album with the final photos 🙂 hope you'll like it
