If you have not taken a look at Gunnie's Sherman on the Armorama Home page display, may I urge you to take a look at this fine example of how we all would like our models to look. Clean lines, simple but eye catching modifications and a paint job worth of the Detroit Tank Factory. Well done.

Just shows that a tank doesn't have to be filthy to look good. Nice one Gunnie.

Guntruck, may I bow before a true master at his craft, an artist, so to speak, with an example of his work for all to see...I hope to be a third of the modeler that you are some day when I grow up...
Sincerely,
Gunny

Howdy fellas,
Yeah....I know about it alright. And If I didn't already like the bloody guy so much........I'd hate the bugger!
I've sung the praise's of our good Gunnie's work to the rafters ny friends. I seriously compare him to many of the "big names" out there........his work is truly inspirational to us all.
When I look at Jim's work, I suddenly feel like Ive been transported to 'Wayne's World' or something, because........
"I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy!..... :-)

Actually, I'm waiting in slathering anticipation of your latest 'Tipper' -based Guntruck project!
So, don't push that to the back burner my friend.
Althoughhhhhhhhh....I think the 'masses' would definitely appreciate more of a blow-by-blow during it's construction than we have been honoured by in recent memory.........
All hail Gunnie!
