Keeff Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Finally, my RFM Sherman is done ..... https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235122906-and-for-my-next-trick-which-im-calling-done/ I wanted to display this in a 'split' fashion to show all the interior detail, so have used brass rod to support the upper hull and turret. So here goes .... Thank you for looking, comments and feedback welcome! Keith 😁 34 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stef N. Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 You've done a superb job on that Keith. Painting, weathering and detailing are ace and I agree with the others that the display does work well. Top job.👍👏 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRMRL Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 That is so impressive, I've not been brave enough to try a full interior, I'm still not, but here's inspiration for when I do 😃. Great presentation as well, looks just like the exploded diagrams you get in books. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The detail they capture and include is superb. RFM use alot of pieces in some sub-assemblies .... for example, there were 11 pieces for each suspension unit and over 1,000 to make the tracks with 6 parts per link. Mouldings are crisp, but lots of ejector pin marks. Brst advice .... don't rush it! Keith 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmerboy Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Stunning build and display, that hull section really does convey a feeling of weight, you now need a very tall display cabinet!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy H Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Great way to show off all the work you put into the interior. 😎👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbasket Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 That has turned out great Keith. The work that you've done on the interior is first rate. But I do have one problem with it. The crew are going to have a helluva job camouflaging it!! John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yg Models Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 (edited) you haven't think to build/display it in cut away style (i saw this on other RFM full interior kit)? btw, driver and gunner in the front seat can't see anything unless using top hatch? 🤔 Edited December 4, 2023 by Yg Models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keeff Posted December 4, 2023 Author Share Posted December 4, 2023 No, this one is not designed for cutaway, unless it's modifed. Keith 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasper dog Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 You've done a grand job there Keith! Great paintwork inside and out and a novel way to display all your hard work. Great work Darryl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Robin Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 I followed you with this one from afar and I am really impressed at your patience and talent at producing a rather stunning finished item. I think that's a novel and well engineered response to displaying all of the work involved. Fabulous. Regards Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrancisGL Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Hi Keith, You finally finished with the model, and IMHO, it was worth it, it looks great, both inside and out, and the option to present it is very appropriate, I had already seen it on another occasion on another website with another interior model, and it is the best. I seem to remember that it could be "assembled" in its entirety and dismantled again in layers to show it as you do. It's not something you should do often (breakage guaranteed), but it's what I'll try when I decide to make something with a full interior. I would have liked a single color background (black or white) for the RFI presentation, I think the good work done would be better appreciated. Cheers Francis.👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keeff Posted December 6, 2023 Author Share Posted December 6, 2023 Thank you for your feedback @FrancisGL, it's very much appreciated. I can't argue about the background .... on reflection I might have rushed the pictures so will do some more. I haven't seen the display idea ... I managed to work it out as a solution as I didn't want to have it assembled! Keith 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
