Finally, it seems like it took forever and a day to get here. Lots of fun to do even with all the errors and redos. I only have small pics for the post here but, I'll upload bigger ones and more for the Gallery a little later today.
Let me know what you think, even if you're tired of seeing all the others I posted while on their way to here. Any and all comments are welcome.

Hey how did you get the mud on the tracks? is that some kind of putty?

The model looks great but with me been new im not the best to comment hehe :-)

Ken,

Your Sherman looks great! I don't care for Shermans and it is making me want to do one. If I were to go get one to do which one would you suggest (Italeri, Tamiya, DML [if one can be found])? How did you make the snow? How about the mud?

GREAT JOB!! :-)

Ken - I like your Sherman as much as I do mine!

Seriously - I rarely say that about any model. Now, you make me want to build another one! Good show!

Gunnie

Certainly looks 'chilly' to me.... great job Ken!

Thanks,

Wow - that's awsome. Makes me want to do a winder dio.

A great piece Ken! I like the way it "swims" deep in the mud! What was your snow recipe? It looks like snow that first melted a bit and then freezed again...getting colder....
better get my socks!

The white camo looks very good! But why did they not repaint those insignias with some other colour after painting the tank? I thought insignias were for recognizing your own ones. Any historical bits on this matter?

Toni

Wow!!!! Please let us in on the mud and snow secret. Maybe a short how to article. I might even try a winter scene. Great job. :-)

Ken, as everyonce else has said, awesome work. I sense an article on the build is needed to answer the questions!

Ken--The model looks really great, but I'm actually wondering if you could share how you made the base. I'm always looking for new ways to do ground in my dios. How'd you do the mud, snow, shrubs, etc?

Nic

Really great!!! Like everyone else, I wanta know the mud and snow recipe. Looks so real I feel like closing the hatches before I freeze my butt off!

I don't hate you because your beautiful, I hate you because you models are.

Seriously, great job! On the extra armor welded to the turret I have a question. There are some super skinny scratches that are rusted. What did you do to get them so thin? You should be proud of the job. It looks used but not overdone, way to go.

Ken, we need a build article in this dio. Enquiring minds want to know!
Beautiful job Sir!

Gee Kenc... I think I'll stick to aircraft!
Dang, that is one awesome Sherman!!! Great work!
I'd like to know what kind of lighting you used for the photos? The middle two pictures just look cold. Coooooolll.... :-)

Ken,
Excellent job
I´m wondering how did you make the snow looks so real. Maybe you´ve said it in another post, but I unfortunatelly didn´t read....
Regards

Thanks so much for all you kind words.
I'm finishing the article on it so please give me a couple a days to complete it as time gets sometimes restricted...I have more fun building than writing...
Thanks again.

Sorry I guess I should of came back on last night but was getting ready for the 9/11 Day
Great job Ken please hurry with the article and don't leave nothing out (:-)

Hi there Ken!

Your Sherman is very nice!
I look forward to your article.

Any crewmen in there?

Andy

First Rate there Ken! Ultrarealistic, looking at it does compel one to reach for the parka. I like the way the stars are so subtly outlined in the white wash. Truely inspiring. Scott

WOW!!! - It look so real !!

How did you made the snow??

greets ShermanSam

As a fellow Sherman freak I've got to add my kudos too, Ken. Stunning model. Simply stunning; looks like the snowfall stopped twenty minutes ago. I also look forward to the article; this is one more nudge to making me pursue a winter Sherman project.

Greg

Your Sherman is, simply magnificiant, I look at it and I feel cold! Having been in many a tank during winter months I know the bone chilling cold that steel contains. Your model projects that damp cold. Well done!
