Hello from NJ, USA.

I like your chipping and "zim" treatment.

Side note: My dad's uncle was in the 3rd Armor Div. during WW2. He took his wound in a battle in Mons, Belgium in Sept. 1944.
By any chance are your near Mons? I have to get there 1 day.

Thank you for putting up all the photos! Those are all winners!
I have both the Taigen/Torro Sherman 76 and 75 and a few of the HengLong. You make me wonder if I should someday make a Wading Sherman, too. I see some added detail, e.g. the periscope guards, the much better detailed .50 cal. and ammo box, and what looks like an M48 antenna. I think there are more details I am not seeing at the moment. You do good work! I hope you will join in RCTW actively so we can learn from you.

I live on the side of the coast and the border with the Netherlands, but Belgium is not large and can sometimes be crossed quickly.
mons is 1h30 from me. I've already been there.

I made the deep wading sherman as a theme for 80th Anniversary of D-Day. The deep wading files come from cults but are adjusted for more scale accuracy. the sherman is very small to fit everything in it but i managed to fit a visaton FRS7 in a selfmade box, elmod board, smoker and 5000mAh battery, i just need to weather it.
here i have some pictures of the build

I also plan to post my projects here on the forum because I can still learn a lot

May I ask where you got the fine detailed sherman machine gun?

If you made it, you did a great job.

Terrific builds. If you do have saved photos of your builds I would encourage you to start (and hope you will) build threads in the appropriate sections for each of your builds (I am aware of your E-75 thread).
