Phew..I guess I didn't need an extension afterall. Here are a few quick snaps of my finished SHerman Ib. Its the OOP ABM conversion and the Italeri Lower hull and improved Italeri bogies. Also includes TMD Wheels and Aber PE.
Cheers,
Bryan

Amazing Bryan!
This is a wonderful peice of artwork you got there.
How did you add the dust on the side of the hull? Powder sprayed through a airbrsuh maybe?

Really nice build there Bryan, can’t wait for the article. Thanks also for inadvertently broadening my limited knowledge on the Sherman. Took some searching to get more info on the Sherman IB.

Very very cool mate. Good to see that Shermie is liberating my country!

Could you send me a message with how you made that name plate saying "The Sherbrooke Fusilier Regiment" ? Looks really cool!

That's an idea too if you don't have your own equipment for it like me......I'll keep that in mind, thanks!
