WOW, once again I'm amazed at the quality of your build. Everything is so cleanly finished, I wish I had your patience and skill.
Can't wait to see the finished article, hope you will post more pics when painted.

Twig-- another superb effort. I have been after a DD for years and your workmanship convinces more than ever that I must have one. Looking forward to seeing the final effort.

Twig, are you working in a cleanroom? I have rarely seen such cleanly finished models.. Looking brilliant at the moment and i'm sure your painting will do it justice.. How was it as a build? I've heard so many different things about Resicast...some brilliant, others not so brilliant, Jim

My question also.
A very clean tight build here. Very very nice.
The base conceptually is also well balanced.
Good luck on your painting---this one will be a show stopper.
Congrats.

Very nice.
Any chance you could post some pics of the rear end? I'm curious about the rear sprocket arrangement and the props, as well as how the wading stack comes up through the skirt.

I still can't believe how quick you can be Lee, this is just amazing work. And like everyone has said it is such a clean build. I am not a Sherman fan, but I am a Lee Loyd fan, I will ell you that much.

Very nice work on a very unusual looking tank. I'd never seen that variant before. You did some masterful work on bending some tiny bits of PE.

Very nice job Twig. I came very close to getting this kit last, but after I read mixed reviews of Resicast's kits, I opted out. After viewing your build, I now regret that decision. I think it's time to reconsider this kit. Does the kit provide any of the curtains? I know they make the DD version with the curtains molded on, I was just wondering about this one.
Again, wonderful build!

Lee,
So this is what you call a "test-bed", it's what I would call a very clean build. The PE work looks excellent (and so does everything else) and I like the base also. Good luck with the paint.

Thanks, Lee. Those were the types of shots I was looking for!.
I gotta get one of these -- that is one sweet looking kit.

Duplex Drive fans -- you gotta check out Steve Zaloga's DD in the Missing Lynx gallery: http://www.missing-lynx.com/gallery/small/ddtank_szaloga.html
And it's in 1/72nd scale! This guy never ceases to amaze me.
