Great job on the model. The only thing I want to know is what kind of camara are you using to shot the pics?

Great looking kit man. I'm pretty new to the whole armor scene so stuff like that gives me some pretty good ideas for future projects. Thanks for posting the pics, they look great, nice detail.

happy trails...

Beautiful work. Those teeth must have hypnotized you by the end of the night!

Shermans, boring? If you're just talking about coloration, maybe... (still, a lot to choose from there!). But like Robert said, there are soooo may variations.

You don't happen to own a real Sherman, do you Robert?
Quite a few of them out there, I understand.
Not cheap, though.

Saw one just last August stuck in the sand on a beach in Saipan. Just waiting for you to tow it home!

Thank you all again.

Dan - we'll have to work on encouraging everyone to get some of their pictures posted here. We're all here to share and I personally think this is the best way to do it. I really enjoy seeing others workmanship on display and it helps to have brother & sister modellers look them over and give their comments.

Edog - be vewy, vewy careful about laying your hands on a Sherman..... once bitten by the bug you'll never go back to other kits. Boring... to me never ... there are so many variations of the Sherman I could build them for the rest of my days. As far as references go, the interior references I used were from photos that I took a few years ago of an M4A1 Sherman ..... interior is basically the same. For the dozer I had a few pics from reference books that I have and then ran across some excellent shots of one that is in an open air museum in Italy on the net.

Dom - one tooth at a time over one very, very long night.

Derek & Trevor - thank you for the kind words.
Happy Modelling and God Bless Robert

Great stuff Robert. The part I like best is the turret 'hole' on the hull, with the hundreds of teeth. Did you cut them out one by one??? Impressive, whatever the case! Can't wait to see more!

Great job!! I have to say, you have turned rather boarding subject (the Sherman) into an interesting scene. I might have to build a Sherman kit some time, after the 10 or so other projects I have planned. Mind if I ask what you used for references??

Thanks for the comments juniormodeler, I should have posted it as a "in progress" work. It is still a long way from being finished. I have corrected the topic now to state that.

M4 Sherman Dozer in progress PICS
Posted by shermanfreak on Saturday, April 12, 2003 7:31 PM
This would be the partner to my M32 B3 that I posted last week. Those of you who saw that post will remember the turret hanging on the crane..well here's the rest of the kit. This is Tamiya's M4 Sherman with a whole bunch of AM parts. This truly was an exercise in after market parts (don't try this at home without a major credit card).

The AM parts are as follows:
- Verlinden M1 Dozer conversion kit
- Chesapeake Model Designs Turret
- Tank Workwhop Interior
- Royal Models PE
- Jordi Rubio 75mm aluminum gun barrel
- Fruilmoddelismo tracks
- Collector's Brass Tools
- Grandt Line bolt heads
- Assorted sizes of solder for cables and hydraulic hoses

The kit was painted with Tamiya Acrylics.
