getting a bit tied up with the tracks on my light tank, so need a bit of a rest from it.
I'm going to start this 1/35 Scale Tamiya M51 Israeli Sherman, it might even be the start of an Israeli theme.
Anyway this is the box lid.

Hi Bob,
I like the idea of an Israeli Sherman, up-gunned and improved.
Now about that backdrop photo.......you use in the finished article. Have you booked a holiday over there??
Watching with interest.

I hope my next is always better

Actually start the Sherman yesterday.
It's standard Tamiya very good molds and generally falls together, the lower hull comes in various parts but is strong once all connected.
The wheels need a bit more cleaning up than usual.
This is it so far.

Hi Bob,
Another nice tank model from the workshop underway.
Will be an interesting build, and possible start of a new theme.

A bit slow with this one, it's not the kit just me must be old age, but here is a bit more progress. the suspension and wheels painted just for ease.

This Sherman is now coming along nicely. Most of the hull and turret is finished, the main gun barrel comes in two halves always more difficult to make the seam disappear.

That's a fair sized gun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is going "great guns" Bob!  Thanks to seeing some of your builds, I'm thinking of venturing into 1/35 scale.
