This is such a cool model you're doing. I may try to copy some of it. Where do you plan to get the 75mm gun?

Oh hey I just thought of something! Build this with the 75mm gun and then build Oddballs Sherman and you'll have a set! Kellys Hero's if anyone missed the reference.

This is the Shapeway 3D 75mm I am using.

And here is a little preview of the gun shield from my buddy who is building it for me.

I know someone who is actually building the "Tiger" from Kelly's Hero. ;-)

Finally got all the big pieces together. Need to figure out the paint and also the details but this is roughly what it will look like:
