Thanks for the comments guys.

Roy, I airbrush my models except for the small details which I hand-paint.

Looking good Dwight. Cant wait to see it finished.

Looks good, Dwight ,

Great job. Lots of details on that kit. They give you so many extra pieces on those kits - it's tough to figure out which ones to use.

Be glad to see the finished pictures tomorrow. ( you usually crank theses out pretty fast once you get to'em)

Looking good

Looks good Dwight. The nicest looking Sherman by far, the Firefly. Wouldn't mind having one in my collection. Looking forward to more pics.

Looking solid so far Dwight. What are your ideas for the diorama?

Looks good so far Dwight. Nice clean build.

You're not done yet? You don't take nearly as LONG as I do usually.

So far so good, Dwight!
Keep us posted with your progress!

Looking great Dwight. Another Masterpiece in the making. As to the Sherman winning the war, one guess who said that. I'll just keep the pot stirrer in the cupboard.

Looking good Dwight. . You're bang on about the instructions. I'm painting mine now. If I get some pics, I'll post mine too.

Looking clean so far Dwight. I am doing the same kit well last years model But its on hold cause I personally cant stand the tracks. How are yours? Nice little injector marks right above the little raised dot on the links? Oh well I guess I will breakdown and do them before the do date on the GB.

Thundergod: You are right about the tracks. Well would you believe that my first armor kit was Dragon's M4A4 with indy tracks? Tool me quite a while doing the tracks.

Buff: Would be happy to see yours. Thanks.

Pete: I think your guess is correct.. But masterpiece? Nah. I would be happy to just see it done. OOB as usual.

J-hulk: I'll keep you posted with (as you have always said) more posts. LOL.

Erush: Well..I had problems with the LONG gun. It is so skinny that it didn't look straight.

zokissima: Actually it is a secret.. Nah...just the Firefly passing a British soldier burying a fallen comrade. Oops.

Proosh: You are right about that. Go get one already.

Jim: Maybe I could use these extras on other sherman kits later. I could have shown you the painted tank without the tracks but I made a major boo-boo on the paint mixture. The tank looks like a vegetable.. I'll repaint it later this evening.

fieldgrau23: Thanks, I am looking at probably 5 to 7 more days.

Here is a few of mine I know the pics are not the best but what the hey.




I will get better ones up later.

Like, wow, man. That's cool.

your firefly is looking good, although if you're like me on dml armor, you got to wonder if it's because of the instructions or in spite of them.
as for the subject of the sherman, let me point out that heroes, soldiers and historians say the same thing: it's not the rifle, but the man behind it.

Dwight, Super job pal. keep us posted...
