Credible details and shading, Adam, but any chance of some closeups of it's more unique features- e.g... the holders Tom was enraptured by? Terrific handiwork though? :clap:
What do you have under the bonnet, or was that detailed in an earlier thread?

Adam, that's one seriously excellent tank. The E8 has always been my favorite Sherman variant.

However, to say that Fury has been a "tad overdone" is an understatement of truly epic proportion. I was all set to try an E8 and then the movie came out and everybody and his brother had to have an E8, and that just took the wind right out of my sails. But, I'll do one eventually and I can only hope it will look half as good as yours.
