                        For those of you that don't wander into the Sherman Family Group Build, here's a couple of pics of my just completed Ram O.P. with Hessian tape camo netting.

                        More pics and my thoughts on the build are on the Sherman Group Site.

                        Thanks again for the kind comments gang.

                        Joe - pastel chalks is what I use to weather. Heavier application at the bottom of the vehicle where there would be more built up.

                        Michael - how many Shermans ...... lots Approve [^] ..... but not enough yet !!!

                        And a very interesting vehicle.

                        beautifull weathering and the camo netting look is really in season.
                        that would be a really tough tank to see.

                        Robert,
                        shame on me!
                        the first thing i thought is:
                        "What is Sherm hiding under there?!?
                        the 'tarp-master' has out done himself."
                        :-)
                        very nice work.
                        and thanks for the link to the GB page abt the making of the net.

                        Hey Robert,
                        Sweet Sherman my friend!! So how did you apply the tape and what technique did you use to get that look.
                        Once again awesome build.
                        Flaps up, Mike

                        If you would listen to everybody about the inaccuracies, most of the kits on your shelf would not have been built Too Close For Guns, Switching To Finger
