Welcome.
Upon completion of this work:
http://armorama.com/forums/209986&page=1
New one started.
I have yet to put a few welds and model ready to paint.
Not only Tiger`s can be destroyed.
Intentionally and deliberately a few parts from another tank (in German machines modelers do that .. then why not with Sherman? )

Beautifully done

Off to a good start. I wonder why the bogie wheels are of mixed types ? Looking forward to the paint job.

Thanks.

Please allow an amendment that is not a copy of the original tank.
It only has to look good, nothing more.
Or at least I will try

RJ

And I am sure that it will.

Great job!
It looks like it had a close encounter with a 20mm flak gun.

Is that wht you were imagining?

Already an accomplishment to be proud of. It will be all that much more the better, once you throw some paint and pigment at it.

Or a Japanese 4.7cm or 5.7cm. Great work and I also want to see it painted.

Im normally not really in U.S armour, but how did you create the shell impacts?
Thanks

Exactly, I meant to show the tank, which was to have break up a wasps' nest. Different depths of penetration resulted from a distance and angle.Closer - deeper penetration
It is strange that now and earlier I have to explain something that is just a few minutes to find on google. Easier to say impossible.
The only thing that is not possible in the original is a metal strip longside hull
It should be in one piece.
The basis of the results of battles Sherman was their number, the possibility of different configurations and in some cases such as IC or VC firepower.
We see hundreds of german models, which are created from different,strange parts and nobody is looking at them, the compatibility with the original.
One Sherman with no penetrated hull is objectionable, little unfair

After two minutes in google:


Did you still think it's impossible ?

Impacts made by hot wire and cutter blade.

Painting begun:

Wow!! Fantastic modelling!!

You are a true wizard Sir!!!!!!!

But what happened to the other photos??

Cheers

Romain

This is really an other masterpiece ! Fantastic !

Greets.

you might want to think about reshaping a few of the sand bags. If they had holes in them, they might have "drained" a nit.

Just a suggestion.

Thanks.

Fantastic work on this Rafal- the Sherman really looks the part (not that I know much about Shermans)- the damage is done very nicely and the red tarpaulin on the rear bed adds a nice bit of color interest to the military green and drab shades. Those figures are fantastic too- they certainly look the part.

Thanks Karl.
Update - Sherman - wash / Pak - burned / Base - initial look.










RJ

Rafal ,,Damn this looking good ,this is seriously impressive stuff here ..i will be watching this for sure


Phill

Rafal, great job on the whole diorama. Thanks for photos.

Rafal- you've got another masterpiece on your hands there my friend. The base is particularly nice and you've tied the tank in beauifully with the mud and dirt on it and the figures add a nice bit of scale interest- I was wondering could we get a few more photos of the figures as they are in the scene?

Rafal,

Superb piece of work here in all aspects. Vehicle,figures,groundwork,story,all is lookin really good my friend,
J

Really outstanding dio

Hello Rafal,
You have done an absolutely great job of weathering. I especially liked your sandbags and all the hits on the armor. I would imagine that with so many hull shots, it would have knocked the crew completely silly from the impacts...No wonder they all look semi-disabled. The German is probably going to get up and help them along, he looks in better shape sitting there having a rest. All in all very convincing a superb build and excellent composition.
