Nice project! I used the resicast conversion a while ago to build a Crab as well. It was my first conversion project with a resin/PE/etc. kit and not an easy one, but it builds into a very cool looking model! Also not seen to often.

Looking forward to hear how the Legend kit is, and of course to see some pics

Got the Coree resin kit in the stash. Will be watching your progress. A very different and rare Sherman variant.

How's the legend kit? I want to build a crab too, but the price tag of the legend set scared me off a while back. Is it worth the price?

Definitely a unique looking variant of the good ol' Sherman. Nice pick!

The legends kit is going good so far nice detail and lots of bits in the box.When you see what you get P/etch sheet, brass rod chains and balls and an awfull lot of resin I think it was worth the price but well see when I get it done The white price tag is a reminder of the bargins picked up at the show and of a great weekend had by all

Got to go to work in this heat now not used to the sunshine round here

Well after a lot of grive with banana shaped resin bits and hundreds of pieces of trak links this little project is starting to come to shape here is the update so far.
