My Sherman collection
As promised to mr gunner this will become a page show casing my Sherman collection, but before I begin do you want just the tank or do you want my conversion parts in the photos
It’s your tank it’s what you make it

Re: My Sherman collection
Starting with the commonwealth first up the m4 not a massive job on this one, just a 3D printed engine deck and some paint. Naturally it had the usual upgrades

Re: My Sherman collection
Next up. The firefly vc. A lot of work went in to this one. First the printed parts. Engine deck, radio bustle, transmission cover. Then the lower hull was cut in to 3 and 20mm added to extend the lower hull to visually the right length. The the glacial plate was altered to give the visually correct angle or near to anyway. After that the turret. Bustle cut off and remade using plasticard and car filler, mato mantlet and barrel.

Re: My Sherman collection
Next the early a1. This was a Ludwig casting upper. A resin turret and a shapeways suspension print. Unlike the a2 the mantlet on this one is printed along with the skirts.

Re: My Sherman collection
Most parts that were designed and printed are now available within forum rules as I now have my own printer. If any are needed ask for a list.

Re: My Sherman collection
A tip of my hat to you, Brute! I am impressed. You have done so well with those variants, so I am eager to see what you do with some US versions. I would think adding examples of your conversion parts would be fair to do.

Very Nice. Thank you for sharing.

Re: My Sherman collection
I am thinking a late m4a2. From information I gathered on early war lend lease a lot of the obsolete m3 lee went to Russia but my information on Russian Sherman’s at the min is limited
