Outstanding work and looks very realistic indeed. Great job 👏

Nice camo scheme. Looking forward to seeing it come together. I think there are bolts that go through the track links (the Hauler 1/48 photoetch set has them): (photo for discussion purposes only)

I like using black cyano superglue. I believe it contains rubber particles thereby giving more flexibility to the set glue so less likely to 'break' as it were. It is also easy to see any excess. Can't say it sets superfast though. For painted parts I use PVA or canopy glue as it dries clear and the flexibility seems to reduce the chance of parts breaking off.

Outstanding work and the stowage is superb 👍 Gotta love a Crusader

Now with paint on:

Outstanding work. Superbly finished model and the groundwork looks perfect. Great job 👏

Excellent work all round 👍. Figures and the dust effects are very good indeed. I think the whole scene blends together very naturally 👏

Kelly's Heroes is a great film.

Yes, I also understand that is where the cable is meant to be stowed...down the right side behind the stowage bins. It's quite a tight fit when the turret traverses at least on my model 😂 This crew is having a rest but you can see the tow cable: This photo shows them down both sides I think:

Good video of Nightshift building an M4A2 USMC Sherman: 3D printed headlight guards and Panzerwerk tracks.

Outstanding attention to detail on those small parts 👏 Looking superb 👍

Outstanding collection of models and great work throughout. Thanks for sharing 👍

Very nice work. Is that not an M20 though as it is without the main gun/turret?

Did we bring back any Bofors 40's? 😂😂

£35 for 500+ well researched pages in hardback looks very good value. Shows what using outside distributors can do to the retail price (compared to Son of Sherman 🤔). I'm sure it will sell well!

A new book by Richard Anderson, 'American Thunder', about the development of American tanks is being published soon in the UK and might be of interest. Currently about £35 on Amazon.

Fantastic job all round. The painting, running gear, zimmerit and figure are especially superb 👏 Is the base a hard pre-formed type?...whether you can get the left track to sit a bit lower into the ground to give an impression of weight? Keep up the great work 👍

That is superb. I love it! Brilliant painting & weathering and the base sets the scene perfectly. What a cool looking vehicle 👍

Great Job! Excellent painting and weathering 👏

Great photos. Makes sense about the additional armour absorbing energy of the impact. One way of reducing spalling? Sherman with schurzen 😄:

Good paper about the mechanics of armour steels: https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/pdfs/AD1027340.pdf

Superb work and beautifully finished. Great pictures too 👍

Many thanks 👍 Very impressive!

Beautiful work 👏. With regards to the crab extension on the Matilda is that an available conversion or something you made yourself? Thanks
