| Also, James, the last couple of times I've uploaded images it would only let me upload one image and then any additional photos would freeze. None of the photos are too large. Any ideas? |

| Thanks, Ted. The light guards are stiff card stock. I took a 1/35 scale photo etch light guard and enlarged it on a photo copier onto the card stock. Worked quite well. |

| VERY NICE!! How did you make the light grills/guards? |

The Sherman was painted with a spray can (Testors Olive Drab). The tracks were painted steel and then got a wash of black for the recesses, and a bit of rust in some areas. |

| Thanks, guys. Actually those are 200 gallon bottles of paint! Brian, like most smart Sherman tanks, he'll avoid any tigers he sees. |

I redid the mantlet and added cheek armor to the turret. Both are several sheets of cardstock laminated with white glue. The glue made the cards very pliable and then held their shape as the glue dried. |

| Super detail. |
| frwyflyer, Comment for image # 23501 | 29 Aug 11 16:21 |
| ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! Most of these details are not in the stock kit. Very nice research and craftsmanship |
| Creosotewind, Comment for image # 23501 | 29 Aug 11 15:46 |
| Much appreciated, on both counts. |

| I'll do that for you, n.p. . BTW, this is looking really good. The detail, and the quality of your work is quite something. |

| For another 3/4" scale Sherman that I am working on, along with FwyFlyr, I'll revise the teeth around the drive and return wheels. Those will be etched in one piece. Much simpler. Less cussing. |

| Yes, the mantlet is crooked. Only placed so far, not glued. |
