Well...expel no. But if you use improper words (some of them) you might be surprised at the outcome (text wise).

...hmmmm, interesting. Should we experiment with a quick list of George Carlin's 10 bleppable words??....just kiddin'

DG, as usual your work is excellent! And I agree wholeheartedly with you, that's exactly where the 'mighty Sherman' usually got killed. (oops, let's not go down that path,shall we?)
Also, what did you use for the caked mud, Tamiya putty?

DG--Well, I know I possess Tamiya model 35190. I seriously doubt that I can come near your fine effort. I am drooling waiting for the photos of her on the Wagon.
Well done!

A matter of semantics I suppose but technicaly I think there is only one Tamiya "M4", all the others have another designation - M4A3, M4 105mm Howitzer, etc., but what do I know, never made a Tamiya kit in my life.

Lord, you poor lad. You have led a sheltered life! Get out and smell the roses.....build a Tamiya M-4. You'll like it.

Tanks--these old eyes can only do the 1/35. I think the headlights on a 1/35 are just about the size ofa 1/76 model.
thanks

Darn!
I was about to start a topic about dried mud and darn like that, now it seems I don´t have to! The Shermie looks just fantastic. I had to pick up my jaw as it fell on the floor.
Awesome.
