Two nice clean builds. I am always attracted to the Cromwell because it weathers and highlights so well due to the large bolts on the turret. The Sherman -- what can one say - - if you do not build Shermans are you truly a member of Armorama?
Well done

Ah, I've got to build a Sherman to truly belong? Oh well, could always build Skorzeny's captured one in the Bulge! Seriously though nice build and they look cool in grey, shows all the detail off to advantage! I take it this is the primer for acrylics?

Come to think of it the BARV Sherman @ Beltring was about that colour...

Nice work so far the on the Cromwell and the Shermie. Two of my all time favourites. Looks like you have a nice clean straighttforward build going on. I have one suggestion if its not too late. The pistol port ont he Shermie needs to faired in a bit with putty. The outer bulges are a shade to prominent. They blend into the sides of the turret just a bit more. This is in no way a reflection on your building skills mate, no kit is perfect and tis is just a small nit pick. Keep up the great work
Cheers,
Bryan
