Eric now I am really confused what is a Dawg?  I assume you are probally talking about sports right?

I will let the whole world on a little secret I don't watch other men excercise!  I have ran Marathons for the US Military, boxed golden gloves for five years, ran cross-country and track but have never I repeat never watched a full baseball, football, golf whatever game in my life!  I would rather watch paint dry!  I have done some curling as well great sport!  LOL!

I think it had to do with the fact that my Dad never was into it and I spent my youth hunting and fishing from sun up to sun down.  Also there were no professional teams in North Dakota but there was a lot of Whitetail!! Smile [:)]  I am talking about deer for you dirty minded city folks. Smile,Wink, & Grin [swg]

It catches guys by suprise whan my eyes glaze over when they start spouting meaningless "to me" sports statistics and I start quoting "They call Me Ishmael" and other literary quotes until they go away!

I have gone to a few professional baseball games but I was comotose with boredom so I started visting with the people around me and made friends with them.  It's the most grass I had ever seen without cows on it at that time in my life. Smile,Wink, & Grin [swg]

I don't even know the sports rules other than boxing anyway and there isn't a lot of "rules" with weight lifting and running.  I have read "War & Peace" three times awesoem book by the way.

Long story short I don't know what a Duck is honestly!

Oh you know. Wink [;)]

Nice win by your Dawgs last weekend. I was telling a friend of mine that the rivalry has been a bit boring the past 6 years since the Dawgs have been down. It appears that they are on the comeback, and that spices it up a bit. We'll see if they are on the comeback trail.

Hi Doc!

I hope to do it justice becasue I have a lot to learn about both Shermns and American Armor.

Good Morning Greg!

I got a good start last night on my the Governor General's Foot Guard Sherman. I admit I was kind of happy that I could skip all th eroad wheels and detail work of PZ.IV roadwheels becasue how hard can six bogies be?  Wink [;)]

Well I giot my answer far more difficult than I had anticpated but I figured it out.  It's a very cool part and I was very careful witthe glue so everything is moveable for painting th eroad wheels in situ.

Here is where I am at the moment with step 1

Sigh [sigh] Hi everybody I had promised my wife I would wait until Saturday to start my next build and she saw me moping around and relented.  Smile,Wink, & Grin [swg]

As a lot of you know I had picked up this kit to do my first American kit without consulting my 'Sherman Expert" so my original  vision has changed due to Historical accuracy to modeling a Commonwealth tank.  I am taking it in stride most days! Mischief [:-,]

I have never modeled a Sherman so all comments and suggestions are welcome as always.  Thanks  in advance guys!

Here is a pic of the kit and the AM that will be using to detail the kit and for the stowage.

I should have a build update tomorrow or later this evening.
