Painless,
I will hopefully have a few able to battle down at the FRAG group facility. You are more than welcome to try it with one of mine. We can car pool down there one weekend for some destruction.

CH,
One of these days, someone is going to actually ship you some tanks and won't you be surprised! *chuckles*

Good Morning, Phil,
That is some excellent news to start the day with. ;o) It will be extremely cool to have you back to tanking full time. The rest of us will have to put some extra swash on the buckles to keep up with you now. I've mentioned it before. Your 105mm build is the template that I used to do this Sherman off of. If I did anything right, it was because I saw you do it first. I'll be watching closely to see what changes you bring to yours. ;o)
regards,
Painless

Pale,
That sounds like a winner. I'll even drive or buy lunch. If they let guys use the course just to run their tanks, I'll bring a couple down with new batteries in them to drive around.

Painless

Been following your build from the start, its a great hobby indeed I can see how you have developed yours skills and it makes me want to go back to my Sherman and do a few bits differently. Keep up the good work.

Eye op done this Saturday full HD vision restored, I won't go into detail but I saw every bit of the operation! Still need to adjust to focusing but long distance is good just need a new set of close up glasses which I should have after they give me the OK on 21Feb.

Phil ;-)
Great news .... Will we be treated to some awesome builds ?..Can't wait for that :D

What can I say... Doc Phil is back on the build :thumbup:

Hey painless... if you can't do the video...perhaps a nice side shot with Mikes bogies :D ...I wouldn't mind having a good look at the finished tank with those on.. never saw them in pictures before... so I'm just wondering what the impact of them would be ;) ...especially with all the great detail work you've done

Leaving the only question left at hand....What happened to the hat? :haha:

Why it will be just like the good old days when the USA were shipping Shermans to Britain by the boat load, I wonder could you include a few tins of spam? ps a truly brilliant build. shaun
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:
