Gunnie,
I was perusing your new Sherman last night and I just had to say what a great job your doing with it. Some of those photos made me pause and think "...now I am looking at a model right?..."
Article! Article! hehe
Seriously I think you should do a piece on your painting and weathering system. It would be a great help and resource.
Cheers,
Jim

I've already let Gunnie know my opinion of his new Sherman, but hey, what the heck, I'll do it again I don't mind.

WOW - that's a compliment! Thank you, humbly everyone...
I uploaded five more pictures earlier this morning - I applied Fuel Stains, light rust, and Footprints to the model to round out the weathering I wanted to do to this subject. Next is attaching the antenna, crew stowage, last of the fiddly breakable detail parts, and mounting on a simple display base...
