A sherman negotiating what`s left of a township!

Right! That's it! I'm giving up modelling! You people are too good for me.

:-) :-) :-)

Superb Dio!

Agreed Murdo...this is getting rediculous! Enough, Russ!!!! Take a break, for the love of humanity, take a break!!!! :-) :-) :-)

Another killer dio from the mind of one Russ Sharp!

lol :-)

Russ what figs did you use? They look cool!

Martin

Blimey Russ, you want to keep these models further apart - they're breeding !! ROFLMAO

Great dio btw

Many thanks for the comments guys, Martin, the figs are bodys out of the parts box with new resin heads,Wolf,Verlinden or Resicast. I find it very hard to hang on to or find heads with braes,enough of them anyway! Hi Dave,yeah they are breeding or it seems that way,what I did was after the show in September I decided to build alot of individual vehicles,some kits and some scratched and build up a surplus of vehicles that I could draw from and then concentrate on dioramas,British and Canadian. I got a little sidetracked from doing the new stuff and scratched a
Canadian Sexton and then did up a dio around it,so that ones yet to come as are a few others.

Nice looking Sherman 105. The supplemental tracks are cool as is the township

Thanks very much Allan, I have been waiting for someone to ask about that white dot on the turret top where the antenna is supposed to be,got ripped of durring transport to get pics taken,I still haven`t found the antenna yet and it`s made from a guitar string,hope nobody walks on it,lol!

Wow Sas! Is very good dio.

Whats all over your road wheels? I think this dio is simple and very good. You do great work.

Hi Russ, This dio is incredible. From the tank to the ruins(which I love i might add) its fantastic. I only have one nitpick on this beauty. I think you went over board muddying up the road wheels, from the pics it seems that the road wheel arms and the wheels them self are coated in one seamless glob of mud and this just couldnt be. after all the wheels would have to turn and the way it is represented it appears they arent able too. just my two cents. Other than that I love it. Cheers Kevin

Looks great, Russ. Great attention to detail in the ruins and rubble. I have a question for you though. Don't take this wrong, but, do you attempt to make all your dios look like it is a night? Your colors are always very muted and have blue-gray tones to them. To me, they look like they are under moonlight. Don't get me wrong, your dios and models look great. I'm just wondering if you do it intentionally or that is just how I see them.

Keep up the good work.

Sometimes I test something and then wish I hadn`t,yeah the mud is a little overboard and it`s kinda permenant now,but I was thinking of Italy and all the wet and mud the Allies had to endure so thought this tank might fit in with what I had in mind.
Hey Gino,good to hear from you,you know I think it`s a halfway thing between the process I use hence the colouring and the blue sheet used for the backdrop for pics,there`s lots of light,I don`t know realy,maybe it`s the way the camera see`s them.I`m enjoying the way the pics are coming out though. Thanks for the comment and it`s good to hear from you.

It's perfect too .
