Hey Guys,
Here is the Sherman V I am building for OP Canuck Steel. I am almost done witht he detail work and will be painting it shortly. Comments welcome of course.
Cheers,
Bryan

I can see I'm going to have to get into this Sherman lark eventually! I can see a LOT of work done on this kit Brian. It looks like it's made of metal before you get the paint on! Particularly the front shot. Did you work over the plastic with a burr to get that textured effect? Looks very good indeed. Only thing I can't see are casting numbers. These seem to be quite prominent on most Sherman photos.

Thanks for the kind words Steve. I guess the pics dont show the casting nubers well. Here you go. I also have added numbers to the mantlet and the upper hull.
Cheers,
Bryan

Glad this is not posted in the Rivet Review forum because I can't see anything to critique... wait! Is that a little hole into the lower hull I see under the front fenders at the transmission housing? Shoot me if I'am seeing things...

Very nice work Bryan.

Hi Bryan,
You are flying through these Shermans (which is a good thing). Once again even your unpainted model is a master piece.
Lookin forward to seeing it finished

WOW very very nice! Which brand is the base kit?

Maybe you could also add rockets to the turret (you know, one on each side of the turret), I love that :-)

Greetings,
Martin

Another great example Bryan -anyone seeing this before painting can't deny that modelling is an art form!. Once again I'm amazed by your patience and skill with the aftermarket parts - what brass set did you use?

Bryan


It is surely a beauty. Your work is amazing. I can't wait till the paint hits plastic.

I can only echo the comments of the otehr members in the thread. Outstanding work. What Regiment will it be?

Bryan, your building skills are outstanding. I wish my builds would be as clean as this.... It's almost a pity to cover it up with paint...
Beautifull.. but what is the bit on the right front above the lift eye??

Cheers
Henk

Bryan,

BEAUTIFUL!! It would almost be a shame to "dirty it up" with paint. Seeing kits (with or without AM) like this, looking like this, make me want to go out and buy a Serman

Hmmmm, watching a couple of auctions for the new DML M4A2 Russian one.

Really, Really nice! What did you use for the weld seams (Milli)?

Mike

looking good hope my canadian 113 comes out as well!!!!

Thanks Guys I appreciate your comments. Hopefully it will be ready for the Guelph Show.
CHeers,
Bryan
