Well,I guess this here is the official Sherman campaign thread Basically it will include any variant of the M3 Lee/Grant and the M3 Sherman series
Now,I will need a hand leading this campaign The reason I say that is because I drive truck for a living Sometimes it is hard for me to connect on a regular basis
In the obscure sherman build thread I had started,it was reccomended that either Hollowpoint or ShermiesRule help me I welcome either one
Now,I would like to keep this as loose as possible Like I said any type of M3 Lee/Grant and M4 Sherman series is aloud I would still like to see as many obscure variants as possible
As far as a start and end date What would sound good to ya'll? Right now I am in two campaigns Project-X and Move it So if possible I would like to see it start in August and end 5 months later (++)

I think you need to submit a request to start an "Official Campaign" -- read this: https://armorama.kitmaker.net/modules.php?op=modload&name=Campaigns&file=submit&req=guidelines
Until then, it's just an idea or a group build.
Good idea, nonetheless! But like you, I have other campaigns to finish before I start another.

So, depending on kit availability, that's this and Korea that I may enter, trouble is when a model arrives I wanna start it, not wait for August - I have one more 'Move-It' truck on the line at present and then I'm clear except for some commission work. This will leve me with at least one sherman for me, maybe two - as part of the commission is a sherman conversion!

Right guys,what I'm planning for this build is as follows,
1: take the turret from the Academy M36 and put it on the Italeri M4 hull(from their M4 US marines Kit) to create an M36B1
2: convert the M36 hull into an M35 prime mover.
If anyone can see me going wrong here could they please let me know.

Storm. I have no experience with the M36 kit so why don't you do it and let us know
