Hi again.  Sorry for the long delay in updating this sherman tank build.  This is something I want to do, but I also want to do it correctly or as close to the real thing as possible in this scale.  Its not something I want to rush, but the real reason for not updating or moving forward is that I am currently side tracked with a couple of commission projects.

The 1st is a German SPKFZ 13 early war armoured car. Now I do not normally do German stuff, but its was a paid request and the car is kind of cool as well.
Here are a few pictures of the car, and my model of it in 1/6 scale. It is the only one in existence at this scale that I know of. The new owner is very excited to receive it once completed. Still a wip but getting there...








The 2nd build is a WWII British/Canadian Cromwell tank, mkIV to be exact.  It is one of my grail builds as I have wanted this tank for a very long time, and well, other then Armourtec version made a few years ago and impossible and $$$ to find, this is as close as I am going to get at having one.  Scratchbuilt 100%. Its has working suspension, and the turret will rotate and the gun will move up and down.  All hatches will open as well. I am working with a few 3d designers to create the wheels, tracks and other parts for it.
