wimbledon99 Posted February 11, 2018 Author Share Posted February 11, 2018 Thank you both. Not sure about the sand myself; cant help thinking it just looks like mud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlaStix Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Impressive build Nigel and it's great to see a Sherman with the wading gear on. Your PE work on this was topnotch! Well done. Kind regards, Stix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badder Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Hi Wimbledon, A great Sherman - one of the more interesting ones to look at with all those added details. Excellent PE work. I bent the sight down on my .50cal cos I just know I'm going to snap it off! I really like the volcanic sand, most especially on the tracks - although perhaps you need to point out that that's what it is for those who haven't/don't read the WIP. The only thing I'd change is the gloss finish on the wood. IMHO that really should be matt. Rearguards, Badder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etienne Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Hello, very nice PTO sherman !!! Just one tiny point of criticism, the .50 machine gun was not used by Marines for several reasons, but mainly because closed hatches were mandatory in close fighting and they prefered the coaxial MG for clearing the path. Cheers, E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree re. the sand; it looks more like mud I see what you mean about the wood. It’s looks OK to the naked eye but the lens must have picked up the shine !! 14 hours ago, Etienne said: Hello, very nice PTO sherman !!!

FrancisGL Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 (edited) I did not know this model of the Italeri brand, the final finish has been very good, that shine gives a very authentic metal sensation.
