Hi,

 

took some time to paint and weather the whole sandbag load ... and add the chicken wire over the hatches 😎

 

Will try to do better photos tomorrow but here is the result for the time being ...

Good news for all Sherman addicts, MasterClub will add VVSS tracks to their high quality offer, see there ... https://www.armorama.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=SquawkBox&file=index&req=viewtopic&topic_id=269934

 

I tried hard to shoot better photos of my Shermans, but no way to achieve something acceptable ... here is the trio anyway

Great finish on these two models.  But your cycles as well.  The sole is a titanium frame? Carbon rims etc.

Thanks 😎 ... and for the bike, yes : titanium Solera frame (by Titus), Corima carbon rims with Tune hubs, Dura Ace group, Syntace stem and handlebar ... everything build by myself including the wheels 😋

Absolutely superb Etienne. All three look great. The weathering is spot on. Taking the photos outdoors has really lightened the A3.

 

John.

Hi John, thanks a lot for your comment ... particularly as you bear some of the responsability for my Sherman addiction 😁

 

I still have 2 others in the assembly line however but not sure about what to do with them 🤔

 

Cheers, E

What are they?

A late big hatches M4A2 and another M4A3 ... both Dragon kits.

 

Will probably go to a Saipan-Tinian one and another for the Okinawa campaign ... still wondering and gathering period pictures 🤔
