Here is a quick update...
Now that the holidays are over I can get back to work on the Sherman. I've managed to get the hull covered. The skins fit almost perfectly, only a little trimming was required, nothing major. Not bad for a hand drawn model. Recently I've been working on the running gear. So far I have all parts for the road wheels cut out and I have started putting them together. That's it for now.

Ah yes! The usual Kevin Stephens craftsmanship. I'm glad to see this fine model taking shape. I look forward to seeing it in May at Army Heritage Day -- if not sooner.

Just wait until you see it mounted on that Dragon Wagon that Kevin is going to build.

Kevin,
I built this model last year. You won't be disappointed in the outcome. So far, you are doing a better and cleaner job than I did on mine. If you would like to see a previous build of this (for what it may be worth), you can find a build complete build thread on Zealot. I'll be watching this! Ken |

Kevin,
If you want to add on some parts and pieces to your Sherman, look for the GPM magazine, dated 3/2001 They have some parts and extra for the Sherman, and they also have loads of pictures of the Dragon Wagon. Still trying to find a proper source for the magazine Rick

The Sherman's road wheels are moving along okay, but not as quickly as I'd like. I made one test wheel before cutting out all of the other parts and I'm glad I did because I discovered some minor fit issues, nothing major, but they do require some trimming to go together properly. Once I get the running gear done, the rest of the build should go pretty quickly. (I hope) But now I have the this OTDAEABT contest to contend with!....(I'm just a sucker for contests and this one sounded like so much fun I just couldn't say no!) So with that said, I'll be focusing on that for awhile or at least until I get too frustrated and give up. Well just have to wait and see how it goes. Rick, BTW What additional parts are available for the Sherman? |
