Hey Guys-

I am working on a Jumbo Sherman currently, and while surfing the web I came across a VERY nice set of walk around photos.

These were taken of the Camp Ripley Minnesota Jumbo Sherman, by Jacques Duquette. I have since contacted him and recieved permission to stick them up in my gallery for all to see.

He does have some excellent commentary up on his own site about using the Tank Workshop Jumbo Conversion (that is what I am using.. hehehe). Sadly, I do not have the link handy at the moment... Hopefully Jacques sees this post and can provide a link to his site.... really worth the look.

Anyway - just a heads up for you guys... Jacques took some really great pics - so have a look if you are so inclined, and be sure to tell him thanks :-)

Take Care-
Jeff

addendum...

Here is his site :-)

Anyhow, here is the link you were talkin' about:

More than just the Jumbo, BTW...the pics I have from my friend Rudy Pavel from WWII Italy have been of great interest to many people over the years. ANd I love seeing the vets gets excited to see how many people are interested in their stories.

Oh, I will be heading back to the Jumbo at Camp Ripley once again this summer. If anyone has photo needs, please feel free to ask. And no, I cannot get interior pics or engine pics as I have tried in the past...the vehicle was stripped out to become a range target and they did not have the pieces for the interior once it was recovered.

Hi Jacques :-)

Great pics man... I do know that there has been some discussion on the M-110 that is up there at Ripley. I'm sure there are a few memebers who wouldn't mind a few shots of that beast :-)

Anyway - Thanks again for the pics and the tips on the TW conversion... I really appreciate it!!!

Whoa! Those were the same pics I've googled on the web. :-) :-)

Wow, nice Jumbo Sherman pics Jeff !! Thanks for putting these up ! I saved a bunch for a future M4A3E2 project I have planned. Good to go !

Thank you for the compliments guys. Makes it all worthwhile to go out and get the pics other than for just my own amusement.

Anyhow, I put up a couple more pics of the Jumbo...take a peek.

Also, as requested, I updated the M110A2 section. Let me know if it fills the need.
