The build goes as on rails !
Very nice pictures by the way!
You have a photo booth I guess, as no sharp shadows visible?

Re: M51 Sherman WIP
Thanks Kari. Yes I have a photo booth that my youngest bought for me as a combined Fathers Day/Birthday gift in summer of 2020. Between that and Bruce’s mentoring on how to better use my iPhone camera, my photography has improved bigtime! Or at least I am much happier with how my photos now turn out.

Re: M51 Sherman WIP
Over the past couple of days I’ve been working on small details. The crew figures, and the TC’s .50 cal.
I also drilled out and added the antenna bases after these photos were taken. I’ll glue the hatches into the open position after the base colors are applied.

Re: M51 Sherman WIP
John & John, thank you.
As somebody who has spent more than a few hours hanging out of AFV hatches, I really like the poses of these two figures. They have the natural look of guys riding along in their tank, business as usual, just trying to be as comfortable as you can be in a rolling steel monster.

It's great to watch this come together. 
Now that we know that.... What have we learned?...

Re: M51 Sherman WIP
Thank you Bob. This is a fairly quick and trouble free build so far. I think that the worst is behind me now.
