Well its now finnished,spent most of the night doing the last bits.hope you all like it.cheers

Looks really good, the German helmet on the turret is a nice touch. (:-)

WHAT only one post,

I've been on all day. Don't know how this post got past me. I like the work. I suspet it's the glare from the flash and lights as there appears to be some shine in the photos. However seeing your work before I know that can't be.

I have a comment about the packs hanging on the rope. Shouldn't the packs hang lower from the rope. If the rope is loope through the shoulder strap it should be closer to the top of the shoulder strap.

Hi Karl !
Over all, your Sherman looks very good! The tracks look very good. And the metal wear on the sharp edges looks right on! What color did you use for this?

A few small things I spotted that need addressing, The shovel loop handle should be painted OD, they were metal except for the grip itself.
The sprocket tips and the track dog tips should have fresh shiney look where they make contact with the sprocket teeth.
Besides these few things, its a realy nice build!

Congrats!

Well its a learning experience,thanks all the same.

Wow, nice effect with the fading of the stars into the OD. Looks very realistic.
Nice subtle rust effects, I particularly like the lower rear hull. Nice.

Probably just me, but the rope looks a little thick in scale and a bit yellowish. (may be your camera) and the stowage hanging from the rope looks like it's setting up just a lil high.

But those are little nitpicks, overall ooks great
Congrats

Karl
Great looking Sherman That was a nice touch adding the rope on the turret for holding on the packs

If you wish to use a more scale appearance rope I reccomend sewing thread keep up the great work (++)

I just like it.
The tracks are great, the color is pleasing. I like the fact that you went and paid a lot of attention to detail. The tie down rope, the hanging rope, the map.

Apart from the learning points already mentioned, that's a neat build. Some good details added, just take an extra look before posting pics ( like I take my own advice,LOL) - you added the bolts/rods holding the spare wheels in place, but missed the height of the packs.
Overall I'd be happy with it.

nice job on your sherman.
i like the way u put the rope and hung all the gear.
