hi pete, from what i can see they look good, but the pic's are big, and a little out of focus, are they the extra armour on the sherman turret & sides? if they are i have the moulds to make them in resin

looks pretty good to me pete, how did you do the weld seams?, it looks like what you'd expect on vertical heavy armour plate

Hi Tony Its much quicker to do like I said took about 5 min to do all of it .After I glued it I ran a litlle seam of superglue around the edge then sprinkle and rub a little baking powder in and there you go it goes rock hard in a split second and very very strong try it on a bit of scrap first because once you do this its going to break before unglue .

as tony said the first pics were a bit hard to see ,but the second ones look spot on,nice one pete , the baking powder and superglue is very simular to the micro ballon filler only a hell of a lot cheaper
all the best ,cliff
