Nice work Keg! Resin bits are Formations' I suppose? The cast texture looks good, as do the brass tracks skids. You might want to drill out the drainage holes in the fuel filler surrounds. Keep us posted please,

Cheers, MartinD

Thanks for the kind words Martin. You got it the resin bits are formations. The drain holes are all drilled out though but I dont they show up in the pics very well. I even drilled out the holes in the turret vent surrounds as well. Thanks again.
Cheers,
Bryan

Hey Guy's,
Thanks for the kind words. Franck I hope you stay far away from Shermans mate...make me look bad :P J/k buddy I know you would kick butt with them. Stuke I Use Tamiya grey putty and extra thin cement to make my texture. Cheaper and a much more random texture IMHO. HTH. Here are afew updated pics.
Cheers,
Bryan

Bryan,

Your Sherman looks superb. I can see the Formations products and the Grief headlights but can you help a novice with just what hull, turret, suspension, and P/E you put into your beauty?

Thanks,

Rick Cooper

Hi Rick,
The Hull and turret are DML. I used the new Firefly upperand lower hull and the turret from one of there earlier kits. The turret had to be reworked at the rear as it was horribly out of round. The pe is from the excellent Aber set for the m4a4 and VC firefly. HTH
cheers,
Bryan
