Default Show us your Sherman

With the release of the HL Sherman combined with the previously released Tamiya and Mato, I imagine there are more then a few Shermans kicking around out there.

Franks recent Sherman build, started bringing Shermans out of the closet, so I thought why not have another thread about the current state of Shermans in the hobby. Show us what you got or what you are working on

Here is a Hybrid Firefly, M4A1 73 mm ,M4A3 Firefly and a HVSS.

My Mato M4A1 76, with Clark TK-22.

Probably my best runner, barrel recoil & servo elevation.

Painted in 'approx' Canadian colours, Italian campaign.

Sorry to interrupt this thread, as I don't own a Sherman ... yet ... but this is a great idea Dan, & something I would like to see not only for the Shermans, but for all the different tanks members might have in their inventory!

I know the forum has a Tank Photo Gallery already, plenty of build threads with photos, & I'm not sure how many existing threads are already posted & similar to this one for other tanks, but this sounds like it would be a nice series of threads that could be started, all with basically the same starting title ... "Show us your", followed by the different model tank.

Show us your Panther G
Show us your KV-1
Show us your Panzer IV
Show us your ................

Not sure if many other members would agree, but I like the idea myself ... just say'n ...

I haven't got one yet either. I've had to put my Churchill project aside (for now) and I want to finish my t34/76 and maybe get a Comet on the bench as well. But a Commonwealth Sherman of some kind is on the list for 2014 for sure.

I love that priest, by the way. So many beautiful Sherman tanks so far, and more to come for sure!!

Well done Gentleman.

I used to try hosting a SNFF (Sunday Nite Foto Fun), but it never seemed to sustain itself. Perhaps a Sunday night, Show us your "whatever tank" might be something worth trying. Gives everyone a reason to log on and see some new inspiring pictures. This call to post has produced some fantastic Shermans. Thanks to everyone for posting

Here's the IDF contingent.....6 Shermans and a Magach (M-48A5) Sherman wannabee in frontal assault in Danville. And my 2 M-51s. The A1 chassis is a Tamato.

a pair of M-50s. All of my IDF tanks are modeled after photos of tanks that served from 1952-76 in all areas if Israel, hence the variation in colors.
