Once again for those who don't wander into the Sherman Family Group Build.

Here's a few pics of my DML Firefly Ic and S-Models Ram in their new home.

Any comments or critiques gracefully accepted.

Very nice Robert! Love the firefly.
Great job with the base, too.
Quite artistic photography too!

Sherm:

Magnificent! Love the muddy base. Hmmmm. It has been a while since I made a dio. You work really inspires me to do one soon.

Great job as always.

Shermanfreak: That is a great job on the base , I like the way you have the tank up to its proverbial knees in mud , very realistic looking ! Nice photoshop as well , looks like an old wwII photo Cool [8D]

Robert, nice job! They look down and dirty and ready to fight. Another great job from the Sherman master.

Awesome, I guess the grousers really didn't work. Great detail, but again I'm not surprised.

Way to go Shermie! Say, what did you use for the barbed wire? That looks awesome and really contributes to the scale of the tanks and the dio. Also, where did you find the camo netting? If you made it, how did you do it? Looks terrific.

Wow, spectacular.
Hehe, I'm tempted to go pick up a sherman kit now :)
As I said before, that camo netting is really amazing!

You always come through with great builds, Robert!

I also like the look of "Oh my, it's a Tiger, let's scoot" look of the crew members Wink [;)]

Thank you all for the very kind words.

Anthony - There are a couple more pics in the Sherman Group Build that show the Ram a little better.

Okie - The Barbed Wire is a Verlinden PE product that I've had kicking around here for some time now. It seemed like the perfect opportunity to actually use some of it. The Hessian Tape camo netting is home built and I give a description of how to build it in the Sherman Group a couple of pages back.

Thanks again.

Happy Modelling and God Bless Robert
