Hi Coca!

Sorry for the late reply, but I think it is still welcome
I have found your Sherman excellent!
Appart from being a uncommon Sherman it reveals a great built, good painting and masterly donne weathering. The figurine is also very well painted. The stowage and the tyes are great and the dental floss trick is good - never thought of that before
Also like the white sand around the hull!

Congratulations on a great model
Keep up the good work and put some pictures of your work on your gallery for the rest of the members enjoy

I really like this model, especially the use if a rime of salt along the edges, a very nice touch.
Rime of salt? Now I got myself thinking Marguerita!

Hmm, looks to me as if you've got something that you can be proud of. I can tell you've worked really hard on that thing, it shows. Congrats!

Hi Easyoff and Al Lafleche, many thanks for your comments, and Al Lafleche, that was not salt along the edges, they are texture acrylics, mixed with water and color.
