    Hope you didn't accidentally sit on your Admiral's pin cushion, Ken !

    Thanks Edward, OC, Craig, EG, Lou for compliments! Stay tuned, Lou, it is not finished yet ! More to come.

    The license is the red wolf decal on the left side of turret. That was for a model in January 1945 Philippines (option C). Didn't want to relegate the decal to the scrap box, so instead of attaching it to the hull, I put it on the turret of option A, 6th Armored Division, January 1945, Ardenne

    Okay, I know you guys have all been waiting with baited breathe for the next installment of the Sherman tank model <he says laughingly>, so here's the completed model sans, extra figures and accessories, which still have to be assembled, painted and attached to the model. And yes, EG, I did take some model's license here too. The tank commander is 1st LT Elwood "Red" Wolfe and he does like to decorate his tank. Still haven't decided on how I will display it tho.

    Too beautiful to hide in a cardboard box !
  6. Jack12477
    Make it four, Carl. I like that 2nd photo pattern, very different!
  7. Jack12477
    You a mind reader, too ! 😁😁😁

    With the exception of the gun barrel, there is not much changed between the two kit models. Maybe near the end I might make changes, which if I do, I will post here. Unless this lockdown ends real, real, soon, I will be stymied for a display because I have run out of plaques in my stash And my one local source is shuttered for now. Need to study some diorama videos anyway.
  9. Jack12477
    As do I, Craig. I have a small parts box filled with those extras.
  10. Jack12477
    Could be "modeler's license" also 😁😁😁😁😁
  11. Jack12477
    WOW ! Impressive work area And neatly organized. I'm jealous.
  12. Jack12477
    Not sure about Ardennes stuff, Ken. I just like the model and decided to build a different variant like I've done with several other models in my collections.
  13. Jack12477
    Just to let you all know I have decided to built the "sister" tank to this model, namely the M4A3 Sherman 75 mm gun version. Since it is identical to this model except for the 75 mm gun, I will not be doing a detailed step-by-step build log of it but I will post photos of the finished model here.

    He's gonna need a bigger house !
  15. Jack12477
    Well I know I don't have C.Diff ! So a couple sheets won't be missed.
  16. Jack12477
    Yes, I had to make the supreme sacrifice, Lou !😁😁😁😁😁

    Edward, check if your UK hobby sources carry Woodland Scenics brand diorama landscape supplies. They have some very good stuff for making realistic scenery, mostly started out for Model Railroaders layouts, but also great for dioramas

    It is a little easier but be careful because the wet tissue tears easily. I used 50-50 white school glue and water There are a lot of good how to videos on YouTube, Edward, that do a pretty good job of showing various ways to make some realistic dioramas. Back in the 80s there was a guy who used to build some really authentic 1:35 scale armor dioramas and display them in our local hobby shop. To represent artillery shells he used spent .22 cal short ammunition shells. He also used dried grass , twigs, from his yard.. He was quite the master. Unfortunately there were no digital cameras in cell phones to grab photos of his work back then.

    Lou, look on YouTube , search on "modeling using toilet paper " from ther you will get a slew of other videos. I used one of them to find out how to do the snow. All you need is a board, some rigid styrofoam packing sheets, and stuff you have in your driveway (gravel), etc.
  20. Jack12477
    Thanks, Lou, Craig, glad you enjoyed the journey with me.. Lou it is not as hard as you think, try it.
  21. Jack12477
    Thanks Phil, Denis !
  22. Jack12477
    Thanks, Phil
  23. Jack12477
    Wow ! Impressive collection, Carl. Great job painting them, should look real nice all together on a display shelf. Cool photography setup you have there.
  24. Jack12477
    Looking good Carl. That striped pattern on the top surface of the 2 bottom wings is impressive. Watched your video, impressive !
  25. Jack12477
    Yea, I get to see the real deal every Sunday afternoon during summer months Black Baron in his DR I vs Sir Percival Goodguy in his Sopwith Camel. Kids love it.
