Paul I think this has a chance with so many shermaholics and no support group to relieve us of our pain other than here.

We will have a ball Bob !

Everyone is encouraged to help each other out with comments, tips and constructive criticism.

I think we'll get a few more starters, we have 12 months too, so even those of you with a 'lot going on' can enrol and get a nice Shermie built with your mates here !

Cheers

Paul

Ok here's the Campaign Ribbon as designed by endrju007.

It's scaled at 200 % so you can see the details...

It is a 'white-washed' Sherman on an OD background.

Thanks Andrzej !!

Any feedback ?



I'll put it on the Campaign page shortly...

Anyone want to have a 'crack at doing the Campaign Banner ?

Hi Paul.

I don't know about the ribbon as the problem with Shermans is:



just so many to build and the list keeps growing as I left out the M4A1 76mm


I have started my M32 build already as it is going to be a long one, but that still leaves the ARV Mk I and A Mk V for the campaign.

Paul,

Nice ribbon! (Thanks Andrzej!) It's hard to get an all-encompassing generic design - even a close-up Sherman wheel design depends on whether it is VVSS or HVSS suspension...

Tom

PS: Matan posted some pics of a neat Sherman "moving target" from Latrun that I'm just gonna have to build for this campaign. Then again, with a year to fill it'll have lots of company from my other Sherman builds...

Hi Alan, got your own hobby shop at home I see Nice collection of Shermans, I guess you have no trouble with decisions I have trouble in that area. If there is more than one model on the shelf I end up playing with them all at the same time while some thing is drying.

Hi Robert,

Yes, decisions, decisions, lots of great choice around at the moment, lost of possibilities. I'm similar, I usually have a couple of projects on the go at the same time, I'm getting better at actually finishing them throught - slowly .

Have Completed Enrollment and Reporting for Duty!!

While I have enrolled in previous campaigns, my completion has been hampered by deployments, retirement and relocation operations. As things have been stable now for over a year it looks like I a may actually be able to participate and complete the assigned mission.

I do have one small problem…what to build. I’m planning to enter two but have five to choose from.

(not in order of any)
1) M4A1 ETO, DML
2) M4A3E8 ETO, DML
3) M4 Composite ETO, DML
4) M4A3E8 KTO DML
5) M7B2 KTO/NATO (Conversion) Academy

So help me decide which two to enter. Of course if get them done with enough time left I my knock out one or two more…maybe.

Welcome Eric !

That's a nice selection there

As far as my advice on which to do..

Perhaps one that is relatvely easy (so you at least finish it), and another that is different from most of the others being done

Cheers

Oh no I’m not planning to build all five just two of the five. So the question is which two should I build?

1) M4A1 ETO, DML
2) M4A3E8 ETO, DML
3) M4 Composite ETO, DML
4) M4A1 w/M1 Dozer Blade ETO, Teaca (?)
5) M7B2 KTO/NATO (Conversion) Academy

Oh the hard questions of life what shall I do??
