Until tomorrow, when the sun is high in the sky, I'll show the completed "Wintered Sherman". Since I can't wait till than, and because I told a few that I would today, here's a couple that I took earlier today when the sun was hiding behind a T-storm.

Outstanding Ken! Very nice work. I like the cluttered look and the snow looks real. (Trust me, when you live in North Dakota you become a snow expert.

Thanks for the compliments all.
The snow is a 50/50 mix of corn starch and Woodland Scenics Snow.
I kinda, sorta, wanna put it in a dio of the Bulge... I'll have something ready for it tomorrow morning.
It's Tamiya's Early version.
